The Angels announced that righty Parker Markel has been outrighted after clearing waivers. He was designated recently to make way for the addition of another hurler.
This’ll give the Halos another arm in camp without any real commitment. Markel hasn’t actually appeared with the club; he was added in an early-offseason trade with the Pirates for cash considerations.
Markel, 29, scuffled badly last year when he first got a shot in the majors. But he earned his way up with an interesting arsenal — a 50/50 mix of a mid-nineties fastball and slider. Markel turned in a 1.74 ERA in his 41 1/3 Triple-A frames, logging an eye-popping 16.3 K/9 to go with 5.7 BB/9.

Keep as many arms with upside as possible, hope one emerges.

The Angel/Dodger trade back on??

No. Probably freeing up a spot just heading into spring training. Players will start moving a lot here in a week or two. It’d be nice to have some flexibility.

Isn’t this another product from the Ray’s pitching pipeline? The name sounds familiar.

“He was designated recently to make way for the addition of another hurler.” Who is the new hurler? Nothing is mentioned on the Angel Website too.

He is the information you seek regarding their claim of Jose Quijada. Btw…the transaction was detailed on the Angels Rumors page on this site.
