ST. PETERSBURG -- Shortly after the 1 p.m. PT non-waiver Trade Deadline passed Tuesday without any further activity from the Angels, outfielders Mike Trout and Kole Calhoun took a second to jointly hug right-hander Blake Parker in the visitors' clubhouse at Tropicana Field.
"I made it," Parker said.
Parker and left-hander Jose Alvarez had been the subject of trade speculation in recent weeks, but the two relievers ultimately stayed with the club, keeping the Angels' bullpen intact for now.
"I didn't really know what to expect," Parker said.
