Pirates acquired RHP Jaiker Garcia and cash from the Rangers for RHP Carter Baumler.
This was the Pirates’ haul for trading out of the fifth slot in the Rule 5 draft. Garcia, 20, had a 4.66 ERA in 19 1/3 innings in the Arizona Complex League last season, but the Pirates might be impressed by what he’s doing in the Venezuelan Winter League; he has a 0.77 ERA at the moment, even though he’s walked 10 in 11 2/3 innings.
