White Sox Outright Parker Markel

By Anthony Franco | July 29, 2022 at 5:59pm CDT

5:59pm: MLBTR’s Steve Adams reports (on Twitter) that Markel has accepted his outright assignment and will remain in the organization.

4:26pm: The White Sox announced this afternoon they’ve outrighted reliever Parker Markel off the 40-man roster. Chicago hadn’t previously announced the righty had been designated for assignment, but he’s evidently already cleared waivers. The 40-man tally drops to 39.

Markel spent about a month and a half on the 40-man roster, having been added off waivers from the A’s in early June. The 31-year-old has spent his entire stint in the organization on optional assignment to Triple-A Charlotte, where he’s struggled. Markel has tossed 14 innings with the Knights, posting a 6.43 ERA despite a quality 28.8% strikeout rate. That’s largely due to strike-throwing issues, as the 6’5″ righty has walked 15.2% of batters faced.

That blend of strikeouts and erratic control is nothing new for Markel. He’d fanned 35.4% of opponents with the A’s top affiliate earlier in the season, managing a 1.89 ERA despite a 12.7% walk percentage. That earned him a brief big league look in Oakland, where he tossed three scoreless innings in his first MLB action since 2019.

Markel has previously been outrighted in his career, meaning he’ll have the right to elect minor league free agency. The team didn’t announce whether he plans to do so or will stick with the Knights and try to work his way back onto the roster.

    Why do I have the feeling the Phillies will pick him up on a Minors deal? Why?

      Could Markel be related to Merken?
      Sox need Dr Don Cooper back, to help poor Tony.

        I can see the offers from Sox fans right now: Sheets and Burger for Rodon. A sheetburger.

        If the Sox actually did get Rodon, you just know he would be walking off the mound to the trainer’s room after his first pitch.

    Get Merrifield. Maybe a playoff run will jumpstart his bat.

    His roster spot meant nothing. This team is truly awful with no chance at post season.
