Some excerpts:

On the day he was called up to the majors for the first time, Red Sox outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia was able to share the news with his emotional parents, who cried on the phone when he reached them in Venezuela. Somewhat confusingly, though, Garcia was unable to reach his younger brother, Johanfran, a catching prospect in Boston’s system who’s currently playing at High-A Greenville.

The idea to get both Garcias to New York happened organically. Johanfran expressed to farm director Brian Abraham that he’d love to see his brother’s debut and club officials didn’t hesitate to make it happen. The Greenville Drive are playing the Rangers’ High-A affiliate in nearby Spartanburg this week and Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is just 22 miles from the field.

“(Abraham) reached out to me,” said Red Sox assistant GM Eddie Romero, who scouted both brothers in Venezuela. “He was like, ‘What do you think about Johanfran coming up?’

“These are small moments you have to take advantage of,” Romero said. “I know Johanfran is in the middle of a season but what’s a few games when you can come see your brother at Yankee Stadium make his debut?

“It’s definitely worth it. These are magical moments you can’t let pass by.”
