Red Sox signed C Roberto Pérez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Pérez can earn $1.4 million if he makes Boston’s major league roster next year. He suited up for just five games this past season with the Giants before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. The 34-year-old backstop is widely-regarded as one of the better defensive catchers in the game, but he’s coming off a pair of injury-marred campaigns, which cast some doubt on his durability moving forward. He’s a decent low-cost dice roll for the Red Sox as extra depth behind Connor Wong and Reese McGuire.
