Hey there, time traveller!

The American Association’s Winnipeg Goldeyes have re-signed catcher Kevin Garcia after a promising debut in 2018.
Garcia hit .273 with one home run and 18 RBIs and hit safely in 26 of 40 games before suffering a season-ending leg injury on June 30.
The El Centro, Calif., native scored 17 runs, hit nine doubles, and walked nearly as many times (13) as he struck out (15).
Garcia finished with a .344 on-base percentage, while batting .387 in 31 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Defensively, the 26-year-old Garcia led all American Association catchers in caught stealing rate at 50 per cent (18-for-36).
“I’m thrilled Kevin is healing well enough to continue his career,” said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney in a release. “Kevin was having a great season behind the plate for us throwing out runners at an incredible clip. I know he’s working extremely hard to prepare for the season, and I expect him to pick up where he left off last year.”
The Goldeyes now have 18 players under contract for 2019. Clubs can carry up to 28 players during spring training, which begins May 4.
