Carlos Perez Heads To Chicago On Minor-League Deal
2 mins agoThe Chicago Cubs have signed catcher Carlos Perez to a minor league deal. This move occurred to add more positional depth within their system as they traded Matt Thaiss to the Chicago White Sox earlier this offseason. Perez last appeared in the major leagues in the 2023 campaign as he spent all of last summer in the minor leagues. Across 112 games with the Las Vegas Aviators, the veteran backstop held a .260/.344/.544 line with 27 doubles, 27 home runs and 77 RBI. He held a 49:80 BB:K ratio. Through five seasons in the major leagues, Perez posted an overall .218/.265/.327 line with 17 home runs. Fantasy managers should expect Perez to open the season with Triple-A Iowa and would only get the call to the big leagues if Miguel Amaya or Carson Kelly were to go on the injured list.
