Right-hander Chris Perez has retired, as the International League
transactions page first reflected and as the Orioles have confirmed to Roch
Kubatko of MASNsports.com (via Twitter). Baltimore had inked Perez while he
was in the midst of a 50-game suspension for recreational drug use.
Perez is only 30 years old, though he’s seen action in seven MLB campaigns
and thrown 379 1/3 career innings from the pen. He compiled a 3.51 ERA in
that span, averaging 8.6 K/9 against 3.9 BB/9 while racking up 133 total
saves.
Things haven’t been very smooth for Perez in recent years, on or off the
field. Cleveland released him after a mediocre 2013 season (and otherwise
would have non-tendered him), and he continued to put up marginal results
after signing an incentive-laden free agent contract with the Dodgers.
Perez was twice hit with bans relating to a drug of abuse, and failed to
reach the majors this season after signing a minor league pact with the
Brewers. He opted out of that deal earlier in the year, but has not made any
appearances since.
Of course, Perez did have some quality moments in his career. He’d been a
regular contributor previously, but 2010 marked the emergence of the
then-24-year-old as a late-inning arm. Including that campaign and the two
that followed, he put up 180 1/3 frames of 2.84 ERA pitching while serving as
the Indians’ closer — the role for which he’ll be best
