The Rattlers announced a pair of right-handed tonight Scott McGough When elected as a free agent Aramis Garcia Clear the exemption and be assigned directly to Triple-A. Last week, the club designated two players’ tasks.
McGough, 35, was the fifth-round pick for the Dodgers in 2011, but he didn’t make his debut until 2015 when he went on six fateful outings as a member of the Marlins. He surrendered seven runs, surrendered on twelve hits and four walks, while hitting four in Miami’s 6 2/3 innings and not showing up again in the Grand Slam. McGough was in trouble overseas with Nippon Professional Baseball’s Yakult Swallows after bounced in the minor league system of the Marlins, Orioles, and Rocky Mountains over the next few years. McGough ended up spending four seasons in Japan and scored 26.0% strikeout rate and 2.94 ERA with 26.0% of his 236 Central League appearances.
The work is enough to get the attention of the Rattlers, who signed him to 6.25mm ahead of the 2023 campaign. The signature was not going well. McGough is below average at the 2023 figure, with ERA (93 ERA+) having a 4.76 ERA (93 ERA+) in 70 1/3 innings, but some peripherals (such as his 25.6% strikeout rate and 3.49 Siera) suggesting he offers more. Unfortunately, those base numbers collapsed in 2024 as he released 7.44 ERA and 6.04 FIPs in 26 appearances, while only 16.7% of his opponents beat his 16.7% with a 14% walk rate. The Rattlers turned down the 2025 club choice in his service last winter, a simple decision, even though they eventually re-signed him in February. When added to the roster in April, McGough released a 6.43 ERA in seven innings innings in the walk (six) batsmen (five) batsmen (five). Now he returns to free agents at the age of 35 to seek changes to the scenery as he hopes to save his season.
As for Garcia, the 32-year-old was the Giants’ second rounder in 2014, making his debut in the 2018 major league season when he helped fill the gap Buster PoseyThe season suddenly ended due to hip surgery. Garcia hit .286/.302/.492 (117 WRC+) in 19 games, and it was his first time enjoying Major League Baseball moves, but he never hit licks since. Garcia has appeared in the Grand Slams at five different clubs since the start of the 2019 season, when he hit .192/.233/.282 with a 39 WRC+. Of course, this slash has only 101 samples of cricket appearances in the major leagues, as Garcia has been primarily used as a third-string receiver throughout the time as a major league option for the major leagues. Even so, for years, there was little to hint that he was a deep choice behind a major league club. This is exactly how the Rattlers’ minds use his way forward, as his thorough means he can serve as a club to capture the non-stock depth of both sides primarily Gabriel Moreno and Jose Herrera.
