Wes Parsons, a 31-year-old right-handed pitcher, went from playing in independent league ball to making his MLB debut with the Braves in 2018. After being DFAed and picked up by the Rockies, he had a chance to pitch for the Blue Jays in their final game of the season. However, he struggled, giving up 9 runs in four innings.
Like Brendon Little, Wes Parsons is someone I forgot was on the Jays' 40-man roster until he pitched in a spring game last week. Parsons is a 31-year-old right-handed pitcher who the Jays signed as a minor league free agent in May 2023. Before that? Well he played independent league ball (he was undrafted) and then the Braves signed him in 2013. He worked his way to the MLB with the Braves , pitching in one game for them in 2018. He pitched in 17 games for them in 2019.
Then he was DFAed and picked up by the Rockies on waivers. He got into 15 more game with them, in 2019. And that was the end of his MLB career until game 162 of the Blue Jays season last year when the Jays called him up to start their final game. In between his time with the Rockies and joining the Jays, he pitched two seasons in It was kind of unfair that they DFAed Jay Jackson (who had done a pretty good job for the Jays) just to have someone start game 162 (Jackson could have done the job). Anyway, Parsons gave up 9 runs on 10 hits and 3 walks in four inning

MLB Reacts: Surprising poll results and thoughts on free agent dealsMost of the time, when we do polls, I have an idea what response will get the most votes. This one surprised me, I didn’t expect Daulton Varsho to get the most votes. But I’d be happy if the poll is right. We also asked if there should be rules to pressure free agent deals to ‘happen faster’. I’m glad to say that most fans don’t think that should happen. There was also a poll asking is the ‘free agent calendar’ will play out until late in the year. Most of us think it will. And most of us think that Scott Boras is mostly to blame for the many free agents yet to be signed. I don’t disagree that Boras has been a drag on signings. He’s an interesting character in our little free-agent drama this year. I would kind of expect to see him sitting in office, touching his fingers together, saying ‘Excellent’. Your thoughts, as always, are welcome. To participate in the weekly MLB Reacts survey, sign up here. Check out DraftKings Sportsbook, the official sportsbook partner of SB Nation.
