Headed for Baltimore: Brewers trade Gerardo Parra for minor league pitching
The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder Gerardo Parra, according to multiple reports. However, the group has actually been timid to break away from most significant prospective clients for a rentals athelete, that have consumed all of them of a given current market for things like Justin Upton or Yoenis Cespedes. Travis Snider is batting.
Right-hander Zach Davies has been thrown out as a trade candidate for Parra, but general manager Doug Melvin indicated it might take more than that.
It is fair to wonder how much regression he has coming to him, given a career-best. Parra also has some speed.
What can Parra do with an everyday role? Davies was ranked as the third best prospect in the Orioles system and the thought is that he will join the Brewers top five also. And it is one that Fantasy owners will certainly want to keep an eye on, because the 22-year-old is knocking on the door of the majors. He has decent, but not-great control, and a 7.2 K/9 – again decent, not-great.
Parra may not be an All-Star player, but this move certainly signals that the O’s are going for it since Davies is a solid prospect who has a 2.84 ERA at Triple-A Norfolk this season.
Pitcher Tyler Thornburg has been recalled from Colorado Springs to Milwaukee. He batted. 312 as a Brewer and had 12 home runs with 41 runs batted in. “He’s yet another lanky pitcher that the Brewers seem to have a fascination with, standing at 6’0” and 150 pounds.
