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. Released by the Guardians in July of 2024.

July 12, 2024
The Guardians released Parsons on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Parsons went unclaimed off waivers after being DFA'd by Cleveland last Friday, and he'll now look for another opportunity. The 31-year-old righty has allowed six earned runs in nine MLB innings between the Guardians and Blue Jays, and he put up a 4.21 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 25.2 frames at Triple-A Columbus.
