Another Orioles player has gone to the great DFA in the sky. Chris Parmelee's time has finally run out. He has a .414 OPS over the last 28 days, so it's not much of a mystery why he's getting sent out as newly-acquired Oriole Gerardo Parra arrives.
The chicken parm has gone bad. Amidst the flurry of roster moves in the aftermath of the trade deadline on Friday, the Orioles designated Chris Parmelee for assignment. The move does not come as a surprise to anyone who has watched Parmelee for the last month.
You could kind of figure that when the Orioles acquired left-handed hitting outfielder Gerardo Parra from the Brewers, there would be a left-handed hitter whose time with the O's would be coming to an end.
