The Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly decided to sign<\/a> outfielder Adolis Garc\u00eda<\/a>, a former ALCS MVP, to a one-year, $10 million deal, according to reporter Francys Romero. Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Jeff Passan of ESPN, and others have confirmed the report from Romero. The Texas Rangers non-tendered<\/a> Garc\u00eda earlier this offseason. The Phillies are taking a chance on Garc\u00eda and hoping he rebounds. Last offseason, the Phillies made a similar move, signing Max Kepler<\/a> to a nearly identical deal. Kepler did not perform well for the most part this season.<\/p>\n

Phillies Sign 2023 ALCS MVP Adolis Garc\u00eda, Per Report<\/h2>\n

Garc\u00eda had a .227\/.271\/.394 line with 19 home runs and 75 RBI in 135 games in 2025. He also recorded an 83 wRC+ and a .267 BABIP, along with a 0.21 BB\/K rate. Defensively, Garc\u00eda had a 16 DRS\/1 OAA\/2 FRV season in right field. He is a right-handed outfield bat, which has been a huge need for the Phillies. If Garc\u00eda can return to his 2023 form at the plate, this could end up being a good signing for the Phillies. That season, Garc\u00eda helped the Rangers to their first-ever World Series title and won ALCS MVP.<\/p>\n
