Gerardo Parra Has Received Three-Year Offers

By charliewilmoth | December 9, 2015 at 1:12am CDT

Free agent outfielder Gerardo Parra has three-year offers “currently in hand” but would like to receive a four-year deal, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo writes. It’s unclear which teams have made those three-year offers, although Cotillo notes that the Giants, Royals and Cubs all have serious interest. Giants GM Bobby Evans told MLBTR on Tuesday that he had spoken with Parra’s camp, although he also noted that he had spoken with representatives of other available outfielders as well. FOX Sports’ Jon Morosi recently reported that the Royals liked Parra as a backup plan in case they were unable to retain Alex Gordon. In addition to the Giants, Royals and Cubs, the Mets have also recently been connected to Parra.

The 28-year-old Parra’s relative youth and solid .291/.328/.452 2015 season should help him land a healthy new contract this winter. He also has a strong reputation as a defensive outfielder, even though his fielding statistics took a surprisingly big step backward last season. As MLBTR’s Steve Adams noted in August, a four-year deal wouldn’t be a shock for Parra if teams still view him as having plus defense.

    The Mets should go all in on him. He’s a better fit than Zoebust would have been. He’s the perfect platoon partner for Lagares, while enhancing your bench at the same time.
    That platoon in center would Collins to rotate Cuddyer between Granderson, Conforto and Duda against Lefties, keeping everybody fresh and supplying late punch off the bench.

      I agree. I’d love to see Parra in Flushing next season.

    Parra has a three year offer “S” in hand and hasn’t accepted ?

    I
    DO
    NOT
    BELIEVE

    So, it is okay when agents lie in negotiations but the teams are not allowed to float the b.s. ?

    Gotta love mlb off season…

      A 3 year contract for a 28 year old OF that just hit .291/.328/.452 and is solid defensively isn’t too hard to believe.
