Subsequently, he was signed by the New York Yankees of the American League for the remainder of the 1904 season but was not invited back. Garvin's last appearance as a pitcher was in 1906 for the Seattle Rainiers baseball team of the Pacific Coast League. Garvin died of tuberculosis in Fresno, California on June 16, 1908
