EDGE Analysis

Parker was designated for assignment by the Twins on Wednesday, and after declining a minor-league assignment, he elected free agency. His trip to the opener market didn't last long, however, as he managed to ink a big-league contract just a day after becoming a free agent. Parker has posted a 4.21 ERA with 34 strikeouts over 36.1 innings this season.
