TODAY: The Nationals have officially announced the signing, adding Parra on a
one-year contract.
YESTERDAY: The Nationals are moving fast on newly minted free agent
outfielder Gerardo Parra. After hitting the open market just yesterday, he’s
now reportedly due to join the Nats on their current road trip.
Parra, 32, had been designated for assignment by the Giants as they cleared
the deck for younger options. He is slashing just .198/.278/.267 through 97
plate appearances on the season.
For the Nats, the veteran left-handed hitter may help plug one of the team’s
many leaks. Andrew Stevenson suffered a back injury after being called up to
bolster the outfield unit while Juan Soto works back to health. With lefty
slugger Matt Adams also sidelined, the club is short of southpaw swingers.
Parra is known more for his glovework in the outfield than his bat, though he
has at times been an above-average hitter. Through nearly five thousand MLB
plate appearances over eleven seasons, he owns an 88 wRC+ — though he’s
closer to league-average (96 wRC+) when hitting with the platoon advantage,
as he likely will for the most part in D.C.
It is not yet known how the Nationals will clear the necessary roster space
for this move. Placing Stevenson on the injured list could open an active
roster spot, but that wouldn’t account for the 40-man.
