The Arizona Diamondbacks made roster changes, allowing pitcher Scott McGough to opt for free agency and assigning catcher Aramis Garcia to Triple-A. McGough, who struggled since his major league debut, previously found success in Japan before signing with the Diamondbacks. His tenure in 2023 featured a 4.76 ERA, which worsened to 7.44 in 2024. Despite decent strikeout rates, his overall performance led to the team's decision to decline his option and his subsequent return to free agency, searching for new opportunities at 35 years old.
McGough's disappointing performance and the Diamondbacks' decision to decline his option led him to seek a fresh start in free agency.
Despite solid underlying numbers earlier in his career, his 2024 season collapse prompted the Diamondbacks to release him.
