PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The Arizona Diamondbacks are saying goodbye to a fan-favorite outfielder as the team continues making offseason changes.
The team announced on Saturday that outfielder Jake McCarthy was traded to the Colorado Rockies. In exchange, the Snakes received right-handed pitching prospect Josh Grosz.
“Thank you and best of luck in Colorado, Jake,” the team posted on X.
McCarthy made his MLB debut with the Snakes in 2021. One of his most notable games with the Diamondbacks included his five-hit game on July 27, 2024, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Over his five MLB seasons with the Diamondbacks, McCarthy finished with 24 home runs and 139 RBIs.
During the 2025 season, Grosz played with the Hudson Valley Renegades, High-A affiliate team of the New York Yankees, and the Spokane Indians, the Rockies High-A affiliate team. He finished with a 5-14 record and a 5.87 ERA.
