Overview
- ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the agreement spans five years with a club option for a sixth season, a detail the Associated Press also corroborated.
- The contract remains contingent on a physical before it becomes official, according to multiple outlets.
- Financial terms have not been disclosed, with an AP source indicating the deal buys out arbitration years and early free-agent seasons.
- Garcia, 25, posted a .286/.351/.449 line with 16 home runs, 74 RBIs and 23 steals in 2025, earning his first All-Star selection and a Gold Glove at third base.
- The extension keeps him under team control through at least 2030 as Kansas City supplements its core with moves like signing Lane Thomas and evaluates further trades after an 82-80 season.
