None of the group has played well enough to likely leverage their opt-out right into an immediate MLB job, but two or three could decide to hit the market and look for a better minor league opportunity elsewhere.
What has been a deafeningly silent offseason for the Boston Red Sox has gotten a tinge of a decibel to it. The Red Sox signed former Gold Glove-winning catcher Roberto Perez, according to Jon Heyman of The New York Post.
Perez was selected by the then-Cleveland Indians in the 33rd round of the 2008 MLB June Amateur draft and has spent his entire eight-year MLB career with the organization.
The only two things rarer in modern-day baseball than the four-homer game is the Triple Crown and the unassisted triple play. The former is, of course, done over an entire season, while there's a large level of lucky in the unassisted triple play.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona told reporters that Perez will undergo treatment at the team's Lake County (Class-A affiliate) facility and won't throw a baseball for at least seven days.
