Reds release Mark Prior
Mark Prior’s latest comeback attempt involved working as a reliever at
Triple-A for the Reds, but he’s been on the disabled list with a shoulder
injury since late April and today they released him.
Since moving to the bullpen full time last season Prior has 47 strikeouts in
35 innings at Triple-A, but that also comes with 7.0 walks per nine innings
and a 4.15 ERA.
Prior is still just 32 years old, but he hasn’t pitched in the majors since
2006. To put that in some context, Prior’s teammates that season included
Greg Maddux, Tony Womack, John Mabry, and Phil Nevin. Oh, and Carlos Marmol
was a 23-year-old rookie starting pitcher.
The good news is that everyone who wrote a “Mark Prior is making a comeback”
story this spring can just copy and paste it for next year, assuming he doesn
’t call it a career.
