On Thursday, Jake McGee announced his retirement from professional baseball. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times was one reporter who shared the news on Twitter:
McGee was initially selected by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the fifth round of the 2004 draft. Across the 13 MLB seasons he pitched, McGee amassed a 3.71 ERA over 650 relief appearances with 79 saves.
The lefty made his MLB debut in 2010 against the New York Yankees, where he walked out three batters and struck out Derek Jeter.
While a closer for the Rays, Rockies, and Giants, the 36-year-old also pitched for the Dodgers.
