How did the Dodgers raise the ceiling with Jake McGee when the Rockies couldn’t? | The Athletic ($)
It was a volatile four-year Rockies’ career for reliever Jake McGee. He had one very good year, two very poor years and one year in which he was decent by virtue of outperforming his peripherals. Ultimately, before the 2020 season got underway, the Rockies elected to part ways with McGee and their other high-paid reliever, Bryan Shaw.
Shaw spent some time on the Seattle Mariners’ roster, but he pitched so poorly that the 11-19 squad outrighted him to their alternate site.
