Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bullpen role may await
Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press speculates Perez could spend the rest of his career working out of the bullpen.
ANALYSIS
Perez started in 20 of his 35 appearances for Texas last season, and he had a 4.98 ERA as a starter compared to a 2.70 ERA as a reliever. The veteran left-hander was also unable to maintain his rotation spot in 2021, though he bounced back in 2022 with a career-best 2.89 ERA. Perez has been a back-end starter throughout most of his career, and he's not likely to receive much of a guarantee to start in 2024, wherever he lands.

Good for Martin Perez. After a decade of serving batting practice in big-league games, Perez put together a career year in 2022 to secure $19.65 million from the Rangers in the form of the qualifying offer. He cut his home-run rate dramatically and with that trimmed his ERA to 2.89, ranking 14th among qualified starters. The lefty did not point to any one reason for his shocking turnaround but said instead it was simply a matter of maturity and growth on the pitching mound. History screams regression though the estimators paint his performance last season in a generally favorable light. The one thing Perez has provided consistently throughout his career is the ability to eat innings and that volume alone provides a good deal of value in certain points formats. In leagues where you need to protect ratios, invest at your own risk.
