Twins Acquire Jaime Garcia, Anthony Recker

The Twins have acquired lefty Jaime Garcia and catcher Anthony Recker from
the Braves, per a club announcement. Cash considerations will also go to
Minnesota in the deal, in which Atlanta acquires young righty Huascar Ynoa.
While these two clubs had seemingly been nearing a deal involving Garcia just
days ago, those talks evidently broke down — at least temporarily. The
southpaw ended up making another start for the Braves. It was a good one,
which helped buttress the club’s position, though obviously Atlanta did not
have an enormous amount of leverage here.
Garcia is a useful pitcher, to be sure, but no team was going to give big
value to get him — particularly given his rather hefty $12MM salary. That
was especially true of a Minnesota organization that is looking to stay in
the postseason hunt, but has little interest in mortgaging the future to do
so.
