In July 1921, Judge McCredie announced that he would consider offers to sell the Beavers. After the 1921 season, McCredie stepped down as manager and the McCredies sold the team to William Klepper for $150,000 ($ in current dollar terms). McCredie was named manager of the Seattle Indians of the PCL for the 1922 season. He was fired in June 1922 and replaced by Bert Adams. Later in 1922, he became a scout for the Detroit Tigers of the American League. As a scout, he discovered Carl Hubbell, but Detroit cut him after a few seasons in the minor leagues.
