Washington Nationals & Jake McGee hoping time together is mutually beneficial...

As Davey Martinez explained it after the Washington Nationals claimed 36-year-old, left-handed reliever Jake McGee off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers on August 9th and called him up to pitch out of the big league bullpen, there was a need, and some history with the southpaw, so the club took a shot.

“He became available,” Martinez said, “... as you know, we have no lefties in our bullpen.

“He’s a veteran guy, felt like the last couple months we could give him an opportunity here and maybe we could straighten him out and do something for him, you know.
