Los Angeles — In the uncertain hours of the MLB winter trade window, former Texas Rangers star Adolis García reportedly signed a deal worth around $10 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers — shortly after the Rangers decided not to tender him, making the power hitter a free agent.
García, the ALCS MVP and a key cog in the Rangers’ run to the World Series, had a disappointing 2025 season with a plummeting OPS.
The Rangers’ move to let him go is seen as a sign of a restructuring of the roster and a reduction in payroll.
For the Dodgers, signing García — if the deal is real — is a strategic move. The Roosters are looking to add offensive power to their lineup, and a hitter like García, despite his ups and downs, has the potential to explode in the postseason.
The decision, however, is not an easy one for García or the Dodgers. For the 32-year-old, it’s a chance to re-establish himself — but also a financial risk in trusting a struggling player. For the Dodgers, if it fails, it’s a risky investment; if it works, they could get a big boost to their offense.
Fans and analysts are watching closely: Can García bounce back like a hero, or is this a sign of the end of an era? For the Dodgers, bringing García back now is a big gamble — and the answer will depend on his continued performance on the field.
