Tampa Bay Rays trade candidate: Jake McGee

Jake McGee was electric in 2014, taking control of the closer job from Grant Balfour early in the season. He then combined with Brad Boxberger to become one of the most effective set-up/closer duos in the league. However, off-season shoulder surgery and an in-season torn meniscus limited McGee to only 37 innings in 2015. Recently, the Padres dealt their closer, Craig Kimbrel, to the Red Sox and netted two top-100 prospects as well as two more exciting players with potential, so the question has to be asked, should the Rays deal Jake McGee?
