The New York Mets re-signed catcher Michael Perez to a minor-league deal on Thursday. Perez came to the Mets in a midseason trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2022 and played in only six games for New York, going 2-for-14 with no homers, three RBI and two runs scored. In total, he slashed just .149/.214/.298 with a .511 OPS, six home runs, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base in 132 plate appearances over 45 games. The 30-year-old will give the Mets additional catching depth for the 2023 season behind catchers Omar Narvaez, Francisco Alvarez and Tomas Nido. Perez is far from the fantasy radar and has a career slash line of .174/.244/.301 with a .545 OPS and 15 home runs in five major-league seasons. | ||||||

| Sat Jul 23 2022 | 12:35 | Mets Acquiring Michael Perez From Pirates | ||||
The New York Mets are acquiring catcher Michael Perez from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations. It's the second trade in the last two days between these two teams, with the Pirates sending first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach to Queens on Friday in exchange for reliever Colin Holderman. Perez will give the Mets some immediate catching help with James McCann (oblique) still on the injured list and Tomas Nido (hand) dealing with a left hand contusion after getting injured Friday night. Patrick Mazeika is the only other backstop on the current roster. Perez was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Friday after hitting only .150 (16-for-107) with six home runs and 11 RBI for the Bucs this year. Even if he gets some playing time in the near future, he's unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset. | ||||||

| Mon Aug 2 2021 | 17:50 | Michael Perez Launches Seventh Homer Of Year | ||||
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Michael Perez led the Pirates on offense on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored in a 15-4 loss to the Phillies. It was Perez's seventh homer of the year and his second in his last seven games, as he's slashing .333/.357/.704 with four RBI and four runs scored in that span. He doesn't hold much value outside of deep NL-only formats or two-catcher leagues, as he's appeared in just 45 games while serving as the Pirates' backup catcher. | ||||||
