Steve Delabar: Plans to end career
Delabar said Monday during an appearance on the "Outta the Park with Barry Davis" podcast that he's "ready to move on" from playing professional baseball.
A 2013 All-Star for the Blue Jays, Delabar logged 190 career relief appearances in the majors from 2011 through 2016 between Seattle, Toronto and Cincinnati, supplying a 4.07 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 11.2 K/9 over 194.2 innings. The 35-year-old most recently appeared in affiliated ball at Triple-A Round Rock in the Rangers organization in 2018 but made only five appearances for the club before getting released in late April. Delabar noted that he's now committed to coaching at the high school level in his home state of Kentucky.

Steve Delabar: Released by Rangers
Delabar was released by Texas on Friday.
Delabar appeared in five games for Triple-A Round Rock in April, posting a 4.76 ERA and 1.92 WHIP. The 34-year-old has only pitched in seven big-league contests dating back to 2016, all of them coming with Cincinnati that season. He will look to latch on with another organization, but it's unlikely that he will make a fantasy impact. In a corresponding move, Round Rock activated Yovani Gallardo after the pitcher agreed to terms last weekend.

Rangers' Steve Delabar: Agrees to terms with Rangers
Delabar signed a minor-league deal that includes an invite to spring training with Texas on Thursday.
Delabar played in seven games for the Reds in 2016, but missed most of last season due to an 80-game suspension for violating the MiLB Drug Prevention Program as a member of the Indians' organization. The 34-year-old was eventually released in July, and didn't latch on with any other club following the conclusion of his suspension. Looking ahead, he will likely begin 2018 at Triple-A Round Rock while serving as organizational bullpen depth for Texas. In terms of fantasy potential, Delabar hasn't been an effective major-league reliever since the 2013 season, and isn't likely to make much of an impact during this upcoming campaign.

Steve Delabar: Released by Indians
Delabar was released by the Indians on Wednesday.
Delabar hasn't played this season after incurring an 80-game suspension for violating the MiLB drug program, and it's becoming increasingly unlikely he'll get a chance to throw a pitch this year. The 33-year-old reliever appeared in seven games for the Reds last season, racking up a 6.75 ERA in eight innings, before signing a minor-league contract with Cleveland in January.

Indians' Steve Delabar: Slapped with 80-game suspension
Delabar was suspended 80 games for violating the MiLB Drug Prevention Program.
Delabar hasn't appeared in a minor-league game this year due to the looming suspension. He also hasn't been an effective MLB reliever since 2013, so this isn't too much of a loss for the Indians.

Indians' Steve Delabar: Signs minor league deal with Indians

The 33-year-old righty has not been an effective big league reliever since 2013. He will offer organizational bullpen depth, likely starting the year at Triple-A.

Steve Delabar: Leaves Reds
Delabar was released Friday, Jamie Ramsey of the Cincinnati Reds reports.
Delabar was unimpressive while with the Reds this season, giving up two earned runs in three of his seven outings while walking 10 batters. The 33-year-old does have almost 200 major league innings under his belt so it's likely he'll be picked up by another club in need of bullpen depth.

Reds' Steve Delabar: Outrighted to Triple-A Louisville
Delabar was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports.
After being DFA'd earlier in the week, the veteran righty cleared waivers Thursday and accepted his assignment to the minors. He figures to provide a veteran presence in the Louisville bullpen moving forward, but his value as a fantasy asset is null.

Reds' Steve Delabar: Walks five batters while recording one out
Delabar gave up two runs and five walks while recording one out in Tuesday's 13-1 loss to the Indians.
He's now walked seven batters over his last two appearances, and that lack of control could soon have Delabar en route back to Triple-A Louisville. Even in a historically bad Reds bullpen, Delabar stands out as one of the poorer performers with a 7.71 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 9:9 K:BB ratio across seven innings.
