8:07pm: The Associated Press reports that Perez’s contract has a $7.5MM
option for a second season that comes with a $500K buyout, bringing his
actual guarantee to $4MM.
Furthermore, MLBTR has learned that Perez will earn an additional $100K for
reaching each of 135, 145, 155, 165 and 175 innings pitched. His option value
would rise to $8MM if he reaches 170 innings and to $8.5MM upon reaching 180
innings.
Jan. 30, 5:34pm: The Twins have announced the signing.
Jan. 19, 5:04pm: Perez’s deal is worth approximately $3.5MM, Jon Heyman of
MLB Network tweets.
3:01pm: Per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the Twins have agreed to a
one-year deal with free agent lefty Martin Perez. The deal reportedly
includes a club option for 2020.

Perez, 27, appeared in parts of seven seasons with the Rangers, posting a
career 4.63 ERA/4.44 FIP/4.51 xFIP in 761 1/3 IP. A once-prized farmhand
under the guiding hand of former Rangers assistant GM (and current Twins GM)
Thad Levine, Perez dealt with an assortment of injuries during his tenure
with the club, and never quite fulfilled the tantalizing bat-missing
potential he displayed in the minors. Perez’s 5.46 K/9 ranks as one of the
league’s lowest during that span, and it isn’t much offset by a career 3.19
BB/9, which swelled to 3.80 in 2018.
Perez, though, has long hung his hat on his knack for inducing the ground
ball. Indeed, his 50.9% career grounder rate places 12th among all starters
with at least 700 IP from 2012-18, aided in large part by a heavy sinker that
hasn’t much slowed down despite recent-season struggles. His worm-burning
tendencies, too, have helped him keep the ball in play – a 0.96 career HR/9
(even with last season’s 1.69 homer-per-nine anomaly) ranks, when adjusting
for the homer-happy confines of Arlington’s Globe Life Park, as one of the
league’s best of the decade, and should play very well within a park around
which the club has a tailored a lineup rife with right-handed power.
2018 was an awful one for Perez, as the lefty posted career worsts in walk
rate, HR/9, ERA (6.22) and FIP (5.72). He was demoted to the bullpen in late
summer, where he still struggled with command, eventually making his $7.5MM
option a foregone rejection. Both Steamer and ZiPS though, remain mostly on
board, with the former projecting a 4.48 FIP and the latter a 4.51, each of
which rated around league-average in the decidedly hitter-friendly environs
of Texas.
Perez will join a rotation that includes Jose Berrios, Kyle Gibson, Jake
Odorizzi, and the rehabbing Michael Pineda, and figures to have inside track
for the rotation’s fifth and final spot at current. Lefties Stephen
Gonsalves and Adalberto Mejia will contend, and the club could also look to
Zack Littell, Kohl Stewart, or Fernando Romero, should injuries surface.

5. 备注：
(1) 双城队以$3.5MM/1YR的合约附带2020年$7.5MM球队选择权($500K买断金)签下Martin
Perez，合约在135、145、155、165、175局各有$100K的激励奖金，2020年的选择权达170
局时薪水提升为$8MM、180局则提升至$8.5MM。
(2) Perez是一位滚地球型投手，生涯50.9%的滚地球制造比率，在2012-18至少700局的投
手中位居第12名，最主要他有一颗很沉的伸卡球，生涯的HR/9 为1.00(前年以前为0.96，
去年HR/9 1.69拉高平均)。
(3) Perez去年是生涯表现最差的一年，生涯最差BB/9(3.8)、HR/9(1.7)、ERA(6.22)、
FIP(5.72)，甚至因为表现太差被拔除先发，今年Steamer跟ZiPS预计他的成绩分别是
4.48 FIP跟4.51，大约就是联盟平均水准，即便他离开了对打者友善的阿灵顿球场。
