Carlos Pérez: Breaking News

Lands MiLB pact with Houston

The Astros signed Perez to a minor-league contract Nov. 28. Perez spent all of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Iowa in the Cubs organization, where he put up a .944 OPS with 27 long balls. The 35-year-old last saw action at the big-league level in 2023 and will provide the Astros with experienced catching depth at Triple-A Sugar Land.

Sent out to minor-league camp

The Cubs reassigned Perez to minor-league camp Sunday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Perez's dismissal from big-league camp leaves Carson Kelly, Miguel Amaya and Reese McGuire as the catchers who are likely competing for two spots on the Cubs' season-opening roster. The 34-year-old Perez has seen big-league action in parts of five seasons but spent the entire 2024 campaign with the Athletics' Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas, where he slashed .260/.344/.544 over 468 plate appearances.

Lands with CHC

Perez signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Tuesday. The 34-year-old spent the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level with the A's, where he had an .888 OPS with 27 home runs in 112 games. Perez has a .592 OPS across parts of five big-league seasons and last saw MLB action with the Athletics in 2023.
