Washington Nationals Claim Reliever Off Waivers

The Washington Nationals have claimed Jake McGee off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers.

It is a little surprising to see the Nationals claim McGee off waivers, as he is a pending UFA and they are nowhere close to being playoff contenders. Yet, the Nationals are still taking a chance on the veteran from here.

McGee has had a rough season. In 30 games between the San Francisco Giants and Brewers, he has a 1-2 record and 7.00 ERA. Yet, there's reason to believe he could bounce back, as he had a 2.72 ERA and 31 saves in 62 appearances just last season.
