Two-time Gold Glover Pérez shows health, experience to earn roster spot out of camp.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Roberto Pérez sported a big grin as he packed up his black-and-orange bag full of catcher’s equipment Saturday afternoon. The 34-year-old backstop, in camp on a minor-league deal, was informed that morning that he had made the club.
“He showed us he was ready to play on a regular basis, got to know a lot of the pitchers on our staff over the last couple weeks, was aggressive in the drills we asked him to be aggressive in and show us he was capable of handling pushing himself,” manager Gabe Kapler said, “and he did those things.”
The Monday deadline sped up a decision process that is still playing out with the other three catchers. “I feel like any of those catchers can step in and comfortably handle a solid workload,” Kapler said.
