A’s Re-Sign Francisco Perez To Minor League Deal

By Anthony Franco | February 19, 2024 at 8:12pm CDT

The A’s recently re-signed lefty Francisco Pérez on a minor league contract, according to Matt Eddy of Baseball America. Oakland also brought back right-hander Aaron Brooks on a non-roster pact.

Pérez has the more recent big league experience of the duo. He pitched in a career-high 17 games for Oakland late last season. Pérez allowed 12 runs (11 of them earned) over 16 2/3 innings. He punched out 14 while issuing eight walks. Oakland kept him on the 40-man roster for the majority of the winter but outrighted him a few weeks back to make room for the Alex Wood signing. Pérez chose minor league free agency before quickly circling back on a new contract.

The 6’2″ southpaw has appeared at the MLB level in each of the last three seasons. He suited up with Cleveland in 2021 and Washington two years ago before making the move to Oakland. The opportunities come largely on account of the swing-and-miss upside he has shown in the minors. Pérez has punched out nearly 30% of opponents over parts of three seasons in Triple-A. He nevertheless owns a pedestrian 4.42 ERA at that level, reflecting significant control issues. Pérez has issued free passes to more than 15% of batters faced in his Triple-A career.

Brooks, 34 in April, pitched parts of three seasons at the major league level in an Oakland uniform. He has appeared in five big league campaigns overall, throwing 180 innings with a 6.55 ERA. Brooks last pitched in the majors with the Cardinals in 2022. He spent the ’23 campaign in Triple-A with the Padres, working to a 4.95 ERA over 63 2/3 frames as a long reliever.

      And they always find a diamond in the ruff. Let ok at Rooker last year. He was a minor league deal. Didn’t he make the all star team?

        Rooker was a waiver claim. And while he had a really nice year, he wasn’t an all star caliber DH as much as he was the required pick from Oakland. He was a great pickup and is a good player, but he’s not a top 5 DH in the American League.

          He may have been a wavier claim but I still think it was a minor league contract. I’m probably way off not exactly sure how claim works. Sorry if i am

    No worries dude, your main point is he came cheap and was really good, and I don’t disagree with that at all!
