Garcia is the only non-Venezuelan international free agent the Dodgers have signed up to this point.

Both Cardozo and Garcia were mentioned and both have reportedly agreed to terms with the Dodgers.

Garcia is a shortstop without a lot of attention as far as we can see, but the fact that the Dodgers have had a lot of interest and demonstrated that interest a lot over the last few months means a very good front office envisions a bright future for the young Dominican shortstop.
