Peguero

The 27-year-old hurler spent the 2024 campaign in the Tigers’ organization where he registered a 3.14 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 56/17 K/BB ratio across 51 2/3 innings in 43 appearances at Double-A Erie. He’ll function as extra bullpen depth for the Giants in the upper minors.

The 26-year-old hurler did not receive an invitation to big league camp. Peguero spent the 2023 season in the Nationals’ organization where he posted a 4.62 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and a 40/27 K/BB ratio over 50 2/3 innings between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester. He’ll add bullpen depth in the upper minors for the Tigers.

Peguero was traded to the Rockies from the Rays last August and reached minor league free agency this offseason. The 25-year-old righty heads to the Nationals as extra organizational relief depth after compiling a pedestrian 4.76 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 52/35 K/BB ratio across 56 2/3 innings (50 appearances, four starts) last season at the Triple-A level.

It’s a rare post-trade deadline deal. Peguero has compiled an underwhelming 4.58 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 33/24 K/BB ratio across 39 1/3 innings (32 appearances) this season for Triple-A Durham. The 25-year-old righty will give the Rockies some extra organizational relief depth.
