In December 2013, just before the start of the 2014 season , McGehee returned to Major League Baseball and subsequently joined the Miami Marlins . There he acted in the position of third baseman and ended the 2014 season in Miami. In December 2014 he was transferred to the San Francisco Giants . After being sent to the minor leagues several times in the following season in 2015 , he was released from his contract in July 2015. Two days later, McGehee returned to Miami and rejoined the Miami Marlins based there. After the end of the 2015 season he was available as a free agent and chose the Detroit Tigers as his future employer. As a result, the third baseman commuted between the minor leagues and the MLB.
