Former White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia, now with the Brewers, said he’s down to 235 pounds after an offseason diet. “Right now, I’m eating without salt,” Garcia said. “I took the sugar out — candies or whatever we eat. It’s not a diet; it’s more I want to have a healthy life. I want to be healthy and do everything that I can do to feel better, to move better and have a great year. I’ve never felt like this before, to be honest with you guys.” Garcia hit .238 with two home runs and 15 RBIs in the first year of a two-year. $20 million deal. … Former Sox third baseman Matt Davidson continues to dream of being a two-way player. He has been on the mound with the Dodgers this spring, throwing a fastball, curveball and split-finger fastball. “With the technology they have here, I’m sure I’ll be throwing something else by the end of camp,” Davidson said. “I was up to 92 mph with the White Sox with no throwing program. With all the weighted-ball stuff and things they have going on here, I’m hoping to get it up higher than that.”
