"McGough, a right-handed pitcher, signed a minor league contract with the Athletics after being outrighted by the D-backs, aiming to revive his career."
"Following a stint with the D-backs where he struggled, McGough will now work on rebuilding his performance in Triple-A with the Athletics."
Scott McGough has joined the Athletics on a minor league contract after being released by the D-backs. Despite his past success in Japan, McGough struggled in his MLB tenure, ending the season with a 7.44 ERA. The A's are looking to bolster their bullpen with experience, which has been lacking. McGough's performance in Triple-A will determine if he can earn a return to the majors. He previously posted decent numbers in Nippon Professional Baseball, which might offer hope for his second chance in MLB.
