2024 Fantasy Outlook
Parsons returned to MLB after spending the prior two seasons with the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization. He signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays in May, ostensibly to provide organizational depth. Parsons started 17 games for Triple-A Buffalo, recording a 4.52 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. He was rewarded for his efforts with a start against the Rays on the last day of the season. Parsons took one for the team, absorbing nine runs in four innings. He may latch on with another organization, but Parsons has never shown any indication that he can succeed at the major league level. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays in March of 2024. Traded to the Guardians in April of 2024.
Back in Columbus
PCleveland Guardians  AAA
April 18, 2024
The Guardians optioned Parsons to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Parsons was pushed off the big-league roster in order to make room for Pedro Avila, who was acquired from San Diego on Wednesday. Parsons has given up six earned runs in nine innings this season between the Guardians and Blue Jays, and he may return to Cleveland later in the year as a multi-inning relief option.
