Apparently the Jose Garcia Era will start tonight. Report unconfirmed as of now. Need roster adjustments — Garcia is in the 60-man player pool, but not on the 40-man roster. So the Reds will have to make a move on both the 28-man active roster and the 40MR.
Infielder Jose Garcia will be making his 1st start tonight for the Reds. Cuban prospect received $5M bonus in 2017, hasn’t played above high A ball.
