Salvador Perez Not On The Trade Block
1 year agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez is not being shopped by the team despite a recent report stating the club could trade its long-time backstop. Royals general manager JJ Picollo said while the report was accurate that a team inquired about Perez, trading him is "not something we're looking to do." Trading Perez would obviously be extremely difficult for the franchise to undertake as he has been the team's leader and backbone since taking over behind the plate full-time in the 2013 campaign. In addition to his leadership and off-the-field importance, the 33-year-old remains productive at the plate with a .273 average alongside 13 home runs, the latter of which paces all MLB catchers.
