Raise your hand if you thought Kyle McGowin would come up and deal out of the bullpen this past season? Now put your hand down, liars!
In a season where not much went well and there weren’t too many positives (Juan Soto’s NL batting title; Luis García’s impressive debut) you take what you can get as far as highlights.
Kyle McGowin’s return to the majors, after his debut in 2018, and a total of seven outings in 2019, saw the...
Juan Soto should be in line for a lucrative pay raise over the minimal amount he earned in 2020, and it could perhaps lead to a record-setting salary for a first-time arbitration-eligible player.
