Marlins Select Eury Perez, Designate Chi Chi Gonzalez For Assignment

By Nick Deeds | May 12, 2023 at 2:08pm CDT

The Marlins have officially selected top prospect Eury Perez to both the active and 40-man rosters. The 20-year-old right-hander will start tonight’s game against the Reds. To clear room for Perez on the roster, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald notes that the club has designated right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez for assignment.

The move comes as little surprise, as Perez’s pending promotion had been reported earlier this week. A consensus top 10 prospect in the entire sport, Perez will skip the Triple-A level entirely and make his MLB debut less than a month after celebrating his 20th birthday. So far this season, Perez has posted a 2.32 ERA, 35.9% strikeout rate, and 51.6% groundball rate through six starts at the Double-A level.

Making room on the roster for Perez is Gonzalez, a former first round pick by the Rangers in the 2013 draft. Gonzalez made his MLB debut in 2015, but over seven seasons in the major leagues has struggled to match the promise of his former top prospect status, with a career 5.64 ERA in 287 1/3 innings of work. Having been used primarily as a starter throughout most of his career, Gonzalez has found some success with the Marlins as a reliever in 2023, albeit in a microscopic sample. In 2 2/3 innings of work with Miami this season, Gonzalez has allowed one run on four hits while striking out two and walking one.

Should Gonzalez go unclaimed on waivers, he will have the option to reject an outright assignment to the minor leagues, both as a player with more than three years of service time and as a player who has already received an outright assignment in the past.

    Did all Chi Chi’s Mexican Restaurants close or just the ones here on the east coast?

        I’ve never seen a chi chi’s but there is this place called Manny’s downtown in Kansas City that would vie for that title

      They all closed about 20 years ago. But the branded salsa is still sold in grocery stores.

          Yeah, but I didn’t think the one restaurant in Vienna was worth mentioning. But hey stop by after hearing the boy’s choir.

    So, let’s see what Eury becomes. The last time we had this much hype for a MLB pitching debut for the Marlins was when some kid named Josh Beckett made his debut. There was some hype with Jose Fernandez, but that was a whisper compared to Josh and now with Eury.

    The hype was there for JDF, but ya, not at the level of Beckett or even Dontrelle…I wouldn’t even put Eury with those guys in terms of hype, but that might be b/c of how the coverage of the marlins has lessened considerably over the years, for obvious reasons
