Parnell re-signed
Reliever Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) was cut by the Detroit Tigers earlier this week, but he was re-signed by the Tigers on Wednesday.
The Tigers faced a Tuesday deadline with Parnell. He would have received a $100,000 roster bonus if he’d been named to the opening day roster.
The Tigers chose to release him rather than pay him, but they quickly re-signed him.
Parnell, 31, has agreed to start the season with the Toledo Mud Hens, Detroit’s Triple-A team. He’ll attempt to rebuild arm strength and regain velocity. Parnell had Tommy John surgery in 2014.
Parnell had a rough spring, but he was clocked at 96 mph in his last outing.
If he stays healthy, he’ll likely get a chance with Detroit this season.
