Perez opted out of his minor league contract with the Brewers on Monday. Perez had the option as a veteran to either stay with the club or opt out before a certain date, and it appears he's elected to go with the latter as he attempts to find work in the majors elsewhere. He spent most of 2014 with the Dodgers, but finished with an underwhelming 4.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 1.56 K/BB rate. It's highly unlikely he'll return to a closer role he had with the Indians, leaving his value minimal in most leagues even if he does crack a big league roster.
