Texas Rangers extend qualifying offer to Martin Perez

Texas Rangers extend qualifying offer to 2022 All-Star pitcher Martin Perez. Perez signed a four-year, $12.5 million contract extension with the Rangers in 2013. He has struggled with injuries since then, but he signed for a one- year pillow contract for $4 million with Minnesota last season. He might find himself with a few back-of-the-ballot Cy Young votes to go with his first All Star game appearance in 2022. The Venezuelan is 31. His last start came against the Boston Red Sox on July 25, 2014.

Martin Perez was offered a one-year contract extension by the Texas Rangers. He is a five-WAR pitcher and is worth $20 million. The last time a pitcher played as well as Perez did in 2022 is never. A team with a playoff spot might be interested in signing him to a long-term deal.
