With pitchers and catchers reporting to camps for the start of Spring Training, the San Francisco Giants officially signed Jake McGee to a two-year, $7 million contract. His deal also includes a team option for the 2023 season.
McGee was among the seven Los Angeles Dodgers who became a free agent the morning after the World Series concluded. Of those, five went on to sign with a new team this past offseason. McGee and Alex Wood are remaining teammates with the Giants.
The Dodgers signed McGee last July after he was released by the Colorado Rockies. He went on to appear in 24 games for L.A., going 3-1 with a 2.66 ERA, 1.67 FIP and 0.84 WHIP over 20.1 innings. He collected 33 strikeouts against just three walks and surrendered a career-best two home runs.
McGee was included on each of the Dodgers’ postseason rosters but did not get into a game until the National League Championship Series. He made three appearances against the Atlanta Braves, allowing one run on three hits in 1.2 innings pitched.
McGee’s final appearance came in Game 2 of the World Series against his former Tampa Bay Rays team, when he tossed a scoreless inning with one strikeout.
The Giants signing McGee gives them a replacement for Tony Watson, who signed a Minor League contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. San Francisco previously addressed their bullpen during the offseason by signing Matt Wisler and John Brebbia, and selecting Dedniel Núñez in the Rule 5 Draft.
