DFA stands for designated for assignment. Which usually means, the MLB team is cutting ties with the player. Sometimes the player goes to the minors, but usually they try to trade him or release him outright.
Pitcher Dontrelle Willis has been designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks for the second time this season. The Detroit Tigers designated Dontrelle earlier in the season.
Alameda's Willis once won 22 games in a season, has a World Series ring with the Florida Marlins and was Rookie of the Year.
He's still only 28 years old, but it seems that Willis' time is over as a major leaguer.
I wish the best for the kid. Perhaps, the A's or the Giants will give him a shot...
