For his part, Paredes, who has a batting average of .269, has demonstrated his power by hitting 14 home runs and driving in 47 runs. His reaction to the news was one of disbelief, to the point of not paying attention to manager Kevin Cash's instructions about the team's logistics after the All-Star Game.
