Brewers acquire OF Gerardo Parra from Arizona; prospects Mitch Haniger and Anthony Banda to D-backs

[yoyomayoma]

Crasnick says we dealt Haniger to the Dbacks. Waiting for word on who it is. Likely a reliever IMO.

[yoyomayoma]

Tom Haudricourt guessing Addison Reed coming to Milwaukee.

[Crew2323]

I know Martin Prado's name has been rumored as available. Haudricourt named dropped Addison Reed.

Yount19 just posted this in the trade rumors thread ... Is the deal for sure?

Could be Parra.

[Yount19]

Reed for Hangier wouldn't be good..

[sveumrules]

Maybe Ziegler?

It's Parra

[Outlander]

Sounds like Parra according to reports in Arizona.

[dpapo]

Looks like Parra is part of the deal according to a tweet by Andrew Gruman.

[yoyomayoma]

Sports radio host in Arizona is saying Parra has been dealt to Milwaukee. Doesn't say it was straight up for Haniger or if others are involved.

Parra traded to Milwaukee

[torts]

Got Parra

[splitterpfj]

I like the addition of Parra, that's a good outfielder, and certainly an upgrade.

[StearnsFTW]

Nice 4th of. Like the deal.

[Never Outhustled]

Brewers seem to be betting that Parra will hit better for them than he did playing for Kirk Gibson. I'll bet the Brewers are right.

[jvrocksaz]

Parra will be a solid 4th outfielder who can play all 3 spots and has a cannon for an arm. Can also hit a bit. HUGE upgrade over Logan Schafer.

[AZBrewCrew]

Now heres the question. ...does Davis become a bench bat?

[MoreTrife]

Not that Haniger is a huge loss but what is the point of this?? A deal for a deals sake?? Parra is OPSing .667. Who is he going to replace? A platoon with Davis?

Milwaukee Brewers ‏@Brewers

The #Brewers have acquired OF Gerardo Parra from Arizona in exchange for OF Mitch Haniger and LHP Anthony Banda.

 

 

I like Parra but Haniger was a nice piece to give up. Any chance he starts in the OF and either Braun or Davis see some time at 1B?

[Never Outhustled]

Only disappointment is we didn't also get Eric Chavez.

[Outlander]

Not a huge splash but certainly better than Schafer and the Brewers control Parra in 2015 as well.

[torts]

I keep asking myself "did we need a 4th OF?" and then my mind goes "Shafer" and I tell myself YES YES YES over and over

[jjgott]

Only disappointment is we didn't also get Eric Chavez.

 

He retired a few days ago

[Fear The Chorizo]

Davis/Parra platoon, with Parra giving Braun and Gomez days off as necessary - Parra's a huge roster upgrade as the 4th OF who can play any of the 3 positions serviceably.
