Stone Garrett has signed a short-term, roughly $35K contract with the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO League as an injury replacement for outfielder Ruben Cardenas. Cardenas is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks due to a right flexor injury. Garrett's previous experience includes stints in the MLB and Australian Baseball League. After an injury setback, he struggled in Triple-A this season but hopes that a strong performance in Korea may revive his career prospects.
Garrett has hit .276/.341/.492 over 361 plate appearances in the Show, though a whopping .369 BABIP and a 30.2% strikeout rate undermine what is a very impressive set of bottom-line numbers.
Understandably, Garrett hasn't looked quite in the same in the aftermath of such a major injury. He hit .249/.348/.333 over 302 combined PA with the Nationals' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates in 2024.
