The Diamondbacks signed Perez to a minor-league contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Perez finished last season at Triple-A Reno but hadn't played anywhere yet this year. The 32-year-old last saw action in the big leagues in 2023 and will give Arizona some experienced catching depth at Reno.

Perez, who signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on July 31, is slashing .500/.556/.733 with five-extra base hits through his first eight games with Triple-A Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona brought Perez aboard in late July with the expectation that he would provide catching depth to the upper levels of the minors, but a promotion to the big leagues isn't out of the question while the Diamondbacks' top backstop, Gabriel Moreno (adductor) remains on the injured list without a definitive return date. For now, the Diamondbacks have been leaning on prospect Adrian Del Castillo as their new No. 1 catcher and have gotten strong results from him thus far, but if he or backup Jose Herrera were to fall victim to an injury, Perez or Andrew Knizner could be next in line for a call-up.

The Mariners released Perez on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fellow catcher Seby Zavala accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Tacoma, and in order to clear a roster spot, Perez was cut loose. Perez should be able to latch on in another organization that's seeking catching depth.

The Orioles traded Perez and Mike Baumann to Seattle on Wednesday in exchange for Blake Hunt.

EDGE Analysis

Perez signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles during the offseason, and he'll now be shipped to Seattle to provide the Mariners with additional minor-league depth behind the dish. The 31-year-old backstop is slashing .221/.294/.325 with 13 RBI across 85 plate appearances in Triple-A and is unlikely to play in the majors outside of an emergency situation.

Perez signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perez appeared in three games last season for the Mets, going 4-for-8 while coming across to score once. Perez will offer organizational depth at Triple-A Norfolk after slashing .204/.309/.352 with 27 RBI in the minors in 2023.

Perez elected free agency Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perez was placed on outright waivers by the Mets on Friday and went unclaimed. The 31-year-old catcher owns a career .179/.248/.306 big-league batting line and will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter.

Perez was placed on outright assignment waivers Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As part of a mass-clearing of the Mets' 40-man roster, Perez will join five other players on the waiver wire. Perez spent most of 2023 in Triple-A, slashing .204/.309/.352 across 270 plate appearances.

The Mets recalled Perez from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Perez will come up from the minors to give the Mets a bench bat as Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) lands on the injured list. Perez played two games with the Mets in May, going 4-for-7 with a run scored. With Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez already on the big-league roster, Perez's chances of starting one of New York's final games are low.

The Mets optioned Perez to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perez was only up in the majors for one day and did not make an appearance. The 30-year-old catcher has batted .210/.326/.318 with four homers and 17 RBI in 48 games this season at the Triple-A level.

The Mets recalled Perez from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perez is slashing just .209/.326/.318 through 176 plate appearances in the minors this season. He will be called up to provide extra depth behind Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez, and he is unlikely to see many opportunities at the plate with the Mets.
