Royals' Onelki Garcia: Signs minor league pact with Royals

Garcia signed a minor league contract with the Royals on Friday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

Analysis:

Garcia, a former third-round draft pick by the Dodgers, finished the 2016 season in the Mexican League prior to this signing. The 27-year-old is a strikeout pitcher as evidenced by his 11.3 K/9 with the White Sox Triple-A affiliate in 2015, but he lacks control, which could limit his ability to rise into the major league ranks.
