- García is having a breakout season (.283, 23 HR, 76 RBI, 2.3 WAR), giving New York a much-needed bat with Judge, Bellinger and Stanton out.
- It's a bit of a puzzle defensively—Goldschmidt currently at first and Rice/DH options in place—so the move feels like both a playoff boost now and a plan for the near future.
