Luis García arrived at the Red Sox before the MLB trade deadline and was reunited with familiar faces, and he shares the same eagerness the club has amid their playoff push. García provides Boston with another arm in the bullpen and is an ideal set-up option for Kenley Jansen, who he played with in 2006 on the Gulf Coast League Dodgers, while Justin Slaten remains on the injured list. The veteran reliever also is reunited with pitching coach Andrew Bailey as he seeks to make an impact on a team he grew up watching. “When I was a kid, my dad (Amado) used to watch a lot of baseball and he was a Boston fan,” García told The Boston Globe’s Pete Abraham.
