The Giants' search for help in the outfield continues as the Winter Meetings wrap up.
Already missing out on big names from Miami's outfield, part of the front office's focus has shifted to Chicago's Avisail Garcia. The 26-year-old is one of the outfielders the Giants checked in on at the Winter Meetings, sources said to Insider Alex Pavlovic.
Giants people feel they're getting closer to finalizing some deals, expecting next week to be much busier. Heard White Sox OF Avisail Garcia is one guy they've talked about a lot. Hit 18 HR last year.— Alex Pavlovic (@PavlovicNBCS) December 14, 2017
Garcia enjoyed his breakout year in 2017, playing in his first All-Star Game. In 136 games played, Garcia set career highs in batting average (.330), on-base percentage (.380), slugging percentage (.506), and home runs (18). He finished with the third best batting average in all of baseball last season.
The White Sox are reportedly receiving interest on Garica from multiple teams.
Garcia is under contract through the 2020 season.
