Jake McGee has been a constant name mentioned in Rays’ trade discussions this offseason and now there is a report that suggests the team could be close to trading their dominating co-closer.
According to Jon Morosi of Fox Sports, trade talks involving McGee have “intensified” in recent days.
“Sources: Rays trade conversations on reliever Jake McGee have intensified over last 24 to 48 hours,” Morosi wrote on Twitter.
Morosi went on to speculate that the Dodgers could be the logical landing spot for McGee for multiple reasons, including Andrew Friedman’s familiarity with McGee, as well as the Dodgers backing out of a deal to acquire Aroldis Chapman.
