White Sox signed LHP Martín Pérez to a one-year, $3.5 million contract with a $10 million mutual option for 2026.
The deal, which also includes a $1.5 million buyout, is now official. It’s hard to believe that Pérez will only 34 years old in a couple weeks since it feels like he’s been around forever. He’ll provide the rebuilding White Sox with a reliable back-end rotation stabilizer, but he’s a non-factor for fantasy purposes. He posted a respectable 4.53 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 107/49 K/BB ratio across 135 innings (26 starts) last year between the Padres and Pirates.
