Chicken Parm survives another day. The Orioles made the Gerardo Parra trade official. The corresponding roster move is that they designated Bud Norris for assignment.
The Orioles got their outfielder in a trade. It's official. Gerardo Parra from the Brewers for minor league prospect Zach Davies. May Parra slug the O's back into a postseason spot.
The swerve in the announcement is in who the Orioles cleared out to make space for Parra. You might think that the arrival of a left-handed outfielder who is an actual outfielder would, you know, kick Chris Davis back to first base and Chris Parmelee to the unemployment line.
