Major League Trade Rumors said on the 5th (Korean time), “Cleveland has designated Plessac for transfer (DFA).”
Plesac was selected by Cleveland in the 12th round of the 2016 draft and made his big league debut in 2019. In his first year of debut, he made 21 starts and went 8-6 with a 3.81 earned run average. He also recorded one complete shutout and was highly regarded as a prospect.

Eventually fractured right hand. He became a winning pitcher with the help of his batting line, but had to be out of power for over a month due to a fracture injury.

Plesac, who was eligible for an annual salary adjustment application for the first time last winter, signed a contract for an annual salary of $2.95 million this year, up from $2 million in annual salary last year, despite his poor performance last year.
He pitched in 5 games this season and was released with a record of 1 win and 1 loss with an ERA of 7.59 in 21⅓ innings.안전놀이터
The media pointed out, “I’ve only digested 6 innings this season. I recorded a terrible 7.59 ERA. The starting rotation proved disastrous.”
Now, Cleveland can trade Plesac within seven days or put him on waivers. If no club wants him, he is signed to a minor contract or released.
