The latest Leury Garcia MLB and fantasy baseball news
Sun, 31 Mar 2013 10:30:01 -0700 Texas Rangers INF Leury Garcia played center field during the final innings of the team's exhibition game Saturday, March 30. It marked the first time he had played the position this spring.
Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:30:22 -0700 The Texas Rangers will have SS Jurickson Profar begin the season at Triple-A Round Rock, with INF Leury Garcia serving as the utility infielder. OF Jim Adduci, C Eli Whiteside and SP Nate Robertson are also heading to Round Rock. P Coty Woods has cleared waivers, and the Rangers are trying to work out a trade with the Colorado Rockies.
Fantasy Tip: Profar will be up eventually this year and is still worth grabbing in the late rounds in mixed formats if you can stash him. He should be owned in every AL-only and keeper league.
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:02:49 -0700 The Texas Rangers are one of two most active teams pursuing Detroit Tigers SP Rick Porcello. Talks do not appear at an advanced stage. Detroit covets SS Leury Garcia and P Nick Tepesch.

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:16:18 -0800 Texas Rangers INF Leury Garcia has been invited to play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, and he'll likely be used in a limited utility role if he accepts the invite. Garcia is the team's No. 19 prospect.

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:47:28 -0800 The Texas Rangers have not revived trade talks for Arizona Diamondbacks OF Justin Upton, with one source saying the two sides have agreed to "move on" after the Seattle Mariners also failed to land the slugger. The Rangers were prepared to offer Arizona a four-player package including 3B Mike Olt, but that was before Upton nixed the trade to Seattle. Ps Martin Perez or Cody Buckel also would have been sent to the D-backs, along with SS Leury Garcia and one other prospect, according to sources.
