Red Sox, Jose Peraza Agree To Minor League Deal

By Anthony Franco | July 29, 2022 at 5:34pm CDT

The Red Sox are in agreement with José Peraza on a minor league contract, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive (Twitter link). He’ll head to Triple-A Worcester.

Peraza, 28, has some experience in Boston. He spent the shortened 2020 campaign with the Red Sox, one of four teams with which he’s played as a big leaguer. The switch-hitting utilityman has also suited up with the Dodgers, Reds (where he’s spent the bulk of his career) and Mets. A speedster with plus contact skills, he owns a .266/.306/.372 line in parts of seven MLB campaigns, rarely striking out but never drawing many walks or hitting for much power.

Last season, Peraza appeared in 64 games for the Mets, seeing virtually all of his defensive action at either second or third base. He hit only .204/.266/.380, managing six home runs but running a career-worst .209 batting average on balls in play. The Mets waived him at the end of the season, and he landed with the Yankees on a minor league contract.

Peraza has appeared in 75 games with the Yankees top affiliate this season. Peraza hit .239/.293/.368 for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, striking out in only 11.8% of his plate appearances with a 5.2% walk rate. He was released from that deal two weeks ago, and he’ll now try to get back to the big leagues with Boston.

        pwndroia – Not many people here realize, Peraza was Bloom’s very first acquisition after taking over the Red Sox.

        When crap doesn’t stick against the wall the first time, what are the chances it will stick the second time?

          I think these moves are more planning for prospects to go out than anything else. Got to have enough players at AAA.

      @PaulSimon- “The Real Peraza” is Oswald Peraza. That’s the Yankee’s 2nd top shortstop prospect that everyone wants, not saying he will be traded.

    Wow, he’s actually being back the worst players of the last 2 years. Zack Godley and Chris Mazza still around? I hear Ryan Webber could be had…

    Peraza is not a switch hitter. He bats right handed only.

    This feels like shuffling chairs on the deck of the Titanic.

    But obviously the FO can walk and chew gum at the same time. This is nothing.

    So seriously..,why ?? Unless of course you’re trading away some guys. Can Peraza play shortstop? Sure can.

      Peraza is better than any SS currently at AAA. He will probably start there tomorrow night.

    Glad there’s no need for help at the MAJOR league level! We’re NOT playing an outfielder out of place (poorly) at first, or a 3rd baseman who can barely hit .200…

      Mango – Let’s not forget that wonderful Red Sox bullpen.

      Bloom’s bullpen construction was a complete failure, and he did nothing to fix it waaaaay back when the Sox actually had leads sometimes.

    Shouldn’t the redsox be looking for established known good hitters? Santana and Peraza are the kind of guys you should acquire during the off-season not now. They should be looking for pitching help.

      If teams need AAA players during the season, they acquire them.

    John Henry is clearly tired of having a high payroll and yet losing to the likes of Tampa. He thinks there is a better way of doing things and the traditional ways of doing things in Boston are over. He’s not going to overpay players (unless injured like Sale). Bogaerts was gone the moment Story signed. I hope Henry sees the value in signing Devers he is Big Papi 2.0 but I’m doubting it. That doesn’t have to be solved right now though. It’s been a couple years now you’d think the farm would be producing but man so far the best Bloom acquisition has been Garrett Whitlock. Who on the farm is ready to step up like he has the past two years? Duran doesn’t hustle, Cordero can’t field, Danny Santana won’t hit over .200, Seabold and Crawford are not ready for the rotation, maybe Josh Winckowski? Haven’t seen enough of Bello to judge he definitely has the arm talent.

      king – Alex Speier, who is the best Sox writer by far, had a nice article recently in which he trashed Bloom’s track record of trading for prospects. The Pivetta deal was the only good one. The Ronaldo Hernandez deal is looking especially bad, and we all know how the Mookie and Benny trades are looking so far.

    I wonder if they are expecting Story to be out a while longer. That doesn’t mean Peraza or Santana on the active roster, but unless someone is brought in, it means Jeter Downs is on the active roster basically indefinitely.

    It should already be disconcerting, as Story was basically considered day-to-day and expected back the second game after the ASB.
