Athletics Release Parker Bridwell

By Connor Byrne | April 7, 2019 at 8:44am CDT

The Athletics have released right-hander Parker Bridwell, per Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com.

This move continues a turbulent several months for Bridwell, who hasn’t been able to find stability since the Angels designated him for assignment in late November. He subsequently went to the Yankees, back to the Angels and then to the Athletics via the waiver wire over the next couple months. The A’s outrighted Bridwell off their 40-man roster almost immediately after claiming him in late January.

Bridwell was a viable starter in Anaheim as recently as 2017, when he posted a sturdy 3.64 ERA with 2.23 BB/9 across 121 innings. That success looked as if it would be hard to sustain, however, given Bridwell’s 5.43 K/9, 38.1 percent groundball rate, .262 batting average on balls in play, 4.84 FIP and 5.07 xFIP. Indeed, the shine wore off during a nightmarish 2018 for the 27-year-old Bridwell, whom injuries limited to 34 2/3 innings between Triple-A and the majors. Bridwell totaled the majority of those frames (28) in Salt Lake, where he logged a hideous 8.68 ERA and allowed 50 hits.

    I think it is time for the Independent League for a few months to straighten out the kinks and then vie for a minors job…..

    You must wonder if he is injured and not telling anyone. His stats say he is injured because nobody could be that bad pitching.
