McGee avoids arbitration with 1-year contract
- Updated: December 3, 2016
DENVER — Lefty reliever Jake McGee, whose first season with the Rockies was hampered by a left knee injury in June and a subsequent slump, reached a one-year, $5.9 million contract with the club on Friday to avoid arbitration.
McGee, 30, went 2-3 with 15 saves in 19 chances, and he had a 4.73 ERA in 57 games. He’ll return as a late-innings option for new manager Bud Black. McGee’s signing was first reported in a tweet from Today’s Knuckleball.
McGee is the second of five arbitration-eligible Rockies to sign this week. Righty reliever Jordan Lyles inked a one-year deal for $3.175 million on Wednesday. On Friday, the Rockies were expected to tender contract offers to the others — third baseman Nolan Arenado, center fielder Charlie Blackmon and righty starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood.
