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. 備註：

(1) 雙城隊以$3.5MM/1YR的合約附帶2020年$7.5MM球隊選擇權($500K買斷金)簽下Martin
Perez，合約在135、145、155、165、175局各有$100K的激勵獎金，2020年的選擇權達170
局時薪水提升為$8MM、180局則提升至$8.5MM。

(2) Perez是一位滾地球型投手，生涯50.9%的滾地球製造比率，在2012-18至少700局的投
手中位居第12名，最主要他有一顆很沉的伸卡球，生涯的HR/9 為1.00(前年以前為0.96，
去年HR/9 1.69拉高平均)。

(3) Perez去年是生涯表現最差的一年，生涯最差BB/9(3.8)、HR/9(1.7)、ERA(6.22)、
FIP(5.72)，甚至因為表現太差被拔除先發，今年Steamer跟ZiPS預計他的成績分別是
4.48 FIP跟4.51，大約就是聯盟平均水準，即便他離開了對打者友善的阿靈頓球場。

(4) 雙城隊今年預計的投手陣容：
A. SP：Jose Berrios、Kyle Gibson、Jake Odorizzi、Martin Pérez、Michael Pineda
(INJ，TJ)、Stephen Gonsalves、Adalberto Mejia。
B. SP/LR：Zack Littell、Kohl Stewart、Fernando Romero。
C. RP：Trevor May、Trevor Hildenberger、Matt Magill、Gabriel Moya、
Tyler Duffey。
