Lowe, 29, won a Gold Glove Award in 2023 and batted .265 last season with 16 home runs, 69 RBIs and a .762 OPS in 140 games. He is a career .272 hitter with 89 home runs, 329 RBIs and a .789 OPS in 686 games for the Tampa Bay Rays (2019-20) and Rangers.
Lowe helped Texas to the 2023 World Series title by hitting three home runs in 17 postseason games.

Garcia, 28, went 3-6 with a 4.22 ERA in a career-best 72 relief appearances for the Nationals last season. In two major league seasons with the Miami Marlins and Rangers, Garcia is 5-8 with a 4.03 ERA in 97 relief appearances.
