Roberto Perez, a two-time Gold Glove winner with Cleveland, will reportedly join Joey Bart, Austin Wynns among Giants backstops.
With Joey Bart and Austin Wynns left as the only players in the Giants organization who had caught a game in the major leagues, and just Bart left on the 40-man roster, addressing the depth behind the plate was one of the last items left on Farhan Zaidi’s offseason to-do list.
San Francisco reportedly checked that box Sunday afternoon, agreeing to terms with 34-year-old catcher Roberto Perez,, the Red Sox beat reporter for MassLive.com. He had first reported that Boston was in talks with the veteran backstop. The club has yet to announce the move. The terms of the agreement have not yet been reported. Earlier this month, Zaidi said it was “unlikely” that the Giants would add another catcher on a major-league deal, though Cotillo reported that Boston made an “aggressive” push. Perez signed a $5 million contract with the Pirates before last season but underwent season-ending surgery on his hamstring in May.
Before health troubles the past two seasons , Perez was considered one of the top defensive catchers in baseball. He was a back-to-back winner of the Gold Glove and the more analytically inclined Fielding Bible awards in 2019 and 2020. In nine MLB seasons, Perez has a batting line of .207/.298/.360 . In his best season, with Cleveland in 2019, he hit .239 with 24 home runs in 389 at-bats.
