Roberto Perez signs minor-league deal with Giants

The San Francisco Giants have announced they have signed catcher Roberto Perez to a minor-league deal.

Fantasy Impact

As Pavlovic notes, Perez receives $2.5 million if he's on the big-league roster and an additional $1.5 million is available via incentives. Perez's bat has struggled significantly following a breakout 2019 season in which he homered 24 times across 119 games with Cleveland. He hit just .155 with a .530 OPS and 34.7% K% across just 76 games between the 2020 and 2021 seasons before appearing in only 21 games with the Pirates in 2022, albeit to decent results. His defense remains strong, however, as it's certainly possible he ends up as the Giants' backup catcher out of camp.
