2025 Projections
Headed overseas
The Orix Buffaloes of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball announced Wednesday that Sparkman signed with the club.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old right-hander will continue his career overseas after few lucrative opportunities emerged stateside once the Twins released him from his minor-league deal in May. Sparkman has spent parts of four seasons in the big leagues, compiling a 5.99 ERA across 52 appearances (26 starts) with the Blue Jays and Royals.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Sparkman has that little shimmy that makes the women in opposing cities want to puke. Quite frankly, he has statistics that make all of the hometown fans want to puke as well. He has allowed 33 home runs in 175.1 innings of major-league work, leading to a career ERA of 6.01. The highlights of his season were seven innings of shutout baseball against Tampa Bay on May 1, and a complete-game shutout win against the White Sox right after the All-Star break. His lowlights included four different starts in which he allowed three home runs. He managed just a 13.6 K% and had a 8.60 ERA when outside the comfy confines of Kauffman Stadium. Sparkman is a fifth starter on the team because the team needs five starters, but your team does not need this damage on your roster.
