Orioles Acquire Brallan Perez From Rangers For Int’l Bonus Spending Rights

By charliewilmoth | August 5, 2017 at 11:25am CDT

2:04pm: The Rangers will receive $500K in international spending rights, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram tweets.

11:25am: The Orioles have acquired minor-league infielder Brallan Perez from the Rangers for the rights to international bonus spending, the teams have announced. The Orioles have assigned Perez to Class A+ Frederick.

The 21-year-old Perez was batting .234/.309/.266 for the Rangers’ Class A+ Down East, although he hit fairly well at the Class A level in 2016 and performed well in a smaller sample at Class A Hickory this season. He’s played mostly second base in 2017, although he’s also played shortstop and third. He signed with the Rangers out of Colombia in 2012. He did not rank among the Rangers’ top 30 prospects, via MLB.com.

For the Orioles, the move continues a recent trend in which they’ve added talent in exchange for international bonus spending rights. They picked up righty Yefry Ramirez from the Yankees for international bonus rights last week, and also added pitchers Matt Wotherspoon, Jason Wheeler and Damien Magnifico and infielder Milton Ramos in separate trades earlier this season. They also gave up international bonus rights in their acquisition of Jeremy Hellickson from the Phillies.

The Rangers, meanwhile, have done the opposite, dealing infielder Yeyson Yrizarri to the White Sox for international bonus spending in mid-July. They currently have a relatively costly July 2 class that includes Venezuelan outfielder Wilderd Patino ($1.3MM), Venezuelan shortstop Keyber Rodriguez ($1M) and Mexican right-hander Damian Mendoza ($1M), although their overall plans for their international spending season aren’t yet entirely clear.

          If you’ve noticed, it’s mostly pitchers, and. Ost pitchers have enough wear and tear in their arms to fail a physical. The Os are the only team to do it this regularly tboigh

      A pretty smart philosophy by the Orioles front office. Goes against conventional wisdom. They are picking up much more known quantities and being able to handpick them instead of standing in line in a draft situation. Unconventional but very smart.

        except the quantities they pick up are known to be pretty mediocre where as the IFA’s tend to be much higher ceiling, so i’m not entirely sure how smart you can really call it

        it’s also kind of nothing like a draft situation in the slightest since they can make an offer to any player they choose at any time

        Basically the Orioles are choosing not to participate in a system that’s been proven to produce top talent if you’re willing to spend the money, because they’re not willing to spend the money…

    Do any of the players that Orioles acquire for IFA slots turn out to be useful? Not being a smart ass. I’m just curious if it’s actually paid off for them & that is why they do it.

      No, they’re all bad non-prospects. Meanwhile, their best player this year was an international free agent. It’s hilarious how Angelos thinks this is smart

      Our top prospect we have traded IFA money for is chris lee. He’s a AAA lefty starter who doesn’t strike anyone out and has shaky control. Odds are he won’t make the bigs for anymore than a cup of coffee so no it really hasn’t panned out for us

    The Orioles are becoming the laughingstock of baseball. They have the strictest physicals in the game, not using Britton in the playoffs last year, trading for Jeremy Hellickson when there are 3 teams in their own division better than them, stubbornly holding on to Britton, Brach and Machado, signing Chris Davis to a 7-year deal etc.

          No, they actually didn’t. They played a really great game against the Blue Jays— one that could’ve gone either way.

          Anyhow, how a perennial contender becomes “the laughingstock” of the league seems a bit ridiculous. They have arguably the best manager in the game and the culture of the organization is widely praised by people throughout the league.

          The culture is what people don’t like lol. Not signing ifa’s. the way they handle free agents. Hell, I’ve seen media say Asian players should stay away from them because of the way they handled Kim. And they are not perrienial contenders, nobody believes that.

    It’s easy to joke about the Orioles, been there done that. However, did anyone notice the funniest part of the story? The Rangers Class A+ team is called Down East. That is the most rednecked named team of all time. At least until the Over Yonder Y’alls start up.

    Baseball becomes a better product when more teams have ownership/executives more in tune with the times as far as developing talent.

    For instance, since the White Sox have apparently decided to take talent-development seriously, baseball is a better product. And, no, that doesn’t just revolve around a talent sell-off.

    The Cubs are better than ten or fifteen years ago at developing talent.

    If the Orioles ever decide to value the international market, baseball will become a better game. Almost immediately.

    Competition does that.

      I’d say the O’s have done a very good job developing talent. Schoop, Brach, Britton, Givens, Castro, Mancini–just to name a few of late.
