Good Morning Mets Fans!!! Tuesday was the first truly slow day of the off-season, but there was still some important nuggets that were unearthed.

White Sox Shopping Avisail Garcia

According to MLB Trade Rumors, the White Sox are shopping corner-outfielder Avisail Garcia. Garcia, 27, has two more years of club control before he becomes a free agent after the 2020 season.

Garcia is a career .271/.321/.420 hitter who has predominantly played right field throughout his career. Garcia is set to earn roughly $8 Million next season according to MLBTR, which seems to be a little excessive following the worst year of his career.

The rumor comes as the team is rumored to be planning a pursuit at star free agent Bryce Harper, which could be a possible reason for the motive behind moving Garcia.

Marlins Announce Plan For Now Empty Space In Left-Center Field 

According to Eric Fisher of the SportsBase Journal, “the Marlins will use the space in CF from the recently departed ‘Homer’ statue to build a new three-tier social space, called the Center Field Zone, as well as paint the outfield wall from bright green to blue, and redesign the batter’s eye.”

The news comes after the Marlins announced in a series of moves this off-season that they will be removing the Home Run Sculpture and installing a Section 305 Heritage seating area, where fans are implored to bring noisemakers, horns, and others of the sorts. The Home Run sculpture will live on in baseball infamy, in one of the worst possible ways.
