Washington Nationals’ spark Gerardo Parra signs with Japan’s Yomiuri Giants; Goodbye, Parra Shark...

The Parra Shark is going to be big in Japan. So much for “getting the band back together” or at least completely back together.

Parra, 32, joined the Washington Nationals late last May, after the veteran outfielder was released by the San Francisco Giants.

Parra provided a spark for the 2019 World Series winners, putting up a .250/.300/.447 line with 11 doubles and eight home runs in 89 games and 204 plate appearances for the Nats, but it was in the clubhouse and dugout that the 11-year veteran really made an impact.
