Garcia signed a two-year, $7 million contract with the Padres on Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Garcia served as a late reliever for the Cardinals in 2021 and converted two of three save chances while recording 11 holds. Across 34 relief appearances, he posted a 3.24 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 33.1 innings. The Padres lost closer Mark Melancon to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, so Garcia will likely compete for save chances with Emilio Pagan ahead of the 2022 campaign.
