Right-hander Jameson McGrane was an exciting signee for Joe Calfapietra leading up to the 2020 American Association season. When the team made the move not to play in 2020, McGrane was exposed to the dispersal draft by KC. He was eventually selected 12th overall by St. Paul where he would go on to a solid season in the Saints’s pen. The righty would post 16 league-leading saves in 2020 with a 1-1 record and a 2.33 ERA in 27 innings. In 26 games he pitched 40 strikeouts while carrying a 1.222 WHIP for St. Paul. The Saints  returned McGrane to Kansas City on September 11, 2020 and exercised his contract rights on October 21st. 

McGrane originally came to KCK after spending 2019 with the York Revolution in the Atlantic League. Kansas City signed the righty on March 2, 2020 after he had made 59 appearances for the Revolution and had posted a 1.33 ERA and a 4-2 record. McGrane also notched 24 saves with 79 strikeouts in 61 innings and gave up just nine earned runs on 35 hits for the season.
