Parra was recently non-tendered by the Brewers after posting a 5.06 ERA and 61/35 K/BB ratio over 58 2/3 innings this past season. But the 30-year-old southpaw shouldn't have any trouble attracting interest on the free agent market. |

Fri Nov 30 2012 | 15:14 | Manny Parra non-tendered |
The Brewers will not tender Manny Parra a contract. |
Parra struck out 61 over 58 2/3 innings in 2012, but he also posted a 5.06 ERA, is due a raise from this past season's $1.2 salary and will always be a heath risk. That said, he's a lefty with pretty good stuff, so he won't have trouble landing on his feet somewhere. |

Thu Nov 29 2012 | 16:30 | Parra could be non-tendered by Brewers |
Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel writes that left-hander Manny Parra is the Brewers' top candidate to be non-tendered by Friday's deadline. |
That means John Axford, Marco Estrada, Chris Narveson and Carlos Gomez will all likely be tendered contracts. Parra earned $1.2 million in 2012 while posting a 5.06 ERA and 61/35 K/BB ratio over 58 2/3 innings. The southpaw is arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter. The Brewers will likely try to trade him before Friday's deadline. |
