With the 2024 minor league season beginning tomorrow, I wanted to talk a little minor league life with the voice of the Richmond Flying Squirrels, Trey Wilson.
Roger, what can you tell me about Nick Garcia? He was drafted by the Pirates in the third round. Then traded to Colorado for Conner Joe. And somehow he ended up with the SFGiants. He then ended up on the Giants. I have no idea how he was acquired by the Giants. He was originally sent to Sacramento and then Richmond. I think that you live close to the Richmond ball park.
Garcia was selected in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft. He pitched with Hartford last year a bit in the Eastern League. Ironically, Richmond gave him a terrible pounding in the only game he faced them. He has a really good arm, but iffy command. Posted an ERA near 8.00 in Double-A last year. Interesting arm to try to get something out of.
