Parmelee has declined his assignment to Triple-A and will become a free agent, the Twins announced Monday. The Twins designated Parmelee for assignment earlier this month to free up a spot on the 40-man roster, and he evidently wanted a more legitimate shot of making a team out of camp in 2015. Parmelee, who will be 27 on Opening Day, has 24 home runs and a .249 average in 901 big league plate appearances, which demonstrates how underwhelming he is on offense relative to his position (first base/corner outfield).
