Parra signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra is expected to report to minor-league camp. He should spend the year in the minors as organizational pitching depth, as he hasn't pitched in the majors since 2015 and is coming off a brutal 2017 season during which he struggled to a 14.09 ERA across 7.2 innings with the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate.

EDGE Analysis

An eight-year major league veteran, Parra owns a 4.90 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 628 career innings. The Cubs are a little light on lefty relievers and Parra's last season with Cincinnati in 2015 was really one of his best, but he's now 34 and any opportunity with Chicago would likely come in the middle innings.

Parra signed a minor league contract with the Cubs on Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

After three years in Cincinnati, Parra hit free agency again this offseason, and his numbers over the last couple seasons weren't good enough (3.90 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) to earn him another major league deal. With many teams in search of an effective southpaw, the Cubs have decided to throw a dart with him. The veteran will look to nab a bullpen spot with a strong spring training, but may face an uphill battle.
