The Rays are hoping that a change of scenery can help the 23-year-old Garcia, who owns a good arm but a severe lack of refinement. For now, he will report to Tampa Bay's alternate training site.

The Phillies had designated Garcia for assignment recently, but were always expected to receive a future asset in return for his services. Did Philadelphia give up on Garcia a little too quickly?

While he is an intriguing right-hander, Garcia is merely a player to keep an eye on for the time being. He has some work to do in order to become a worthy fantasy option.
