Padres signed RHP Freddy Garcia to a minor league contract.
It's a pretty nice landing spot for Garcia, as he gets to pitch in a cavernous home park and should have a pretty good shot at winning a rotation spot. The veteran right-hander posted a 5.20 ERA in 30 appearances -- 17 starts -- with the Yankees in 2012, but he put up a 3.62 ERA over 146 2/3 frames for them in 2011.
