Roberto Pérez joins Giants' Opening Day roster as third catcher.
TL;DR Summary
Catcher Roberto Pérez will be on the San Francisco Giants' Opening Day roster after signing a minor league deal. The 34-year-old is known for his defensive skills behind the plate, with the highest Defensive Runs Saved tally among all MLB catchers since his 2014 debut. His batting has been inconsistent, with a career wRC+ of 77. Pérez will join Joey Bart and Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol as catchers on the Giants, with Sabol likely to spend more time in the outfield due to injuries. The Giants will need to make a corresponding move to add Pérez to the 40-man roster.
