Pirates' Jaiker Garcia: Lands in Pittsburgh

The Pirates acquired Garcia and cash considerations from the Rangers in exchange for Carter Baumler on Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Pirates took Baumler in Wednesday's Rule 5 Draft before flipping him to the Rangers for Garcia in a prearranged trade. Garcia will turn 21 later this month and pitched in the Arizona Complex League in 2025, posting a 4.66 ERA and 26:14 K:BB over 19.1 innings.
