Tigers Ink Veteran Catcher Perez & Promising Prospects
28 Oct
Summary
- Carlos Perez returns as Triple-A depth catcher for the Tigers.
- Top Double-A relievers Moises Rodriguez and Marco Jimenez re-signed.
- Wandisson Charles also re-upped after strong performance in Erie.
The Detroit Tigers have secured key pieces for their farm system, re-signing veteran catcher Carlos Perez and three promising minor league relief prospects to new minor league deals. Perez, who returns as Triple-A depth, showed offensive promise before an ankle injury ended his 2026 season.
Among the re-signed relievers is Moises Rodriguez, ranked as a top prospect for his high-velocity sinker and breaking ball. Marco Jimenez, a hard-throwing right-hander with injury history, also returns, aiming for more innings after a limited 2026. Wandisson Charles, who impressed in Erie with a high strikeout rate, further strengthens the bullpen depth.
The team also aims to retain outfielder Roberto Campos and other minor league free agents, highlighting a strategic approach to building future talent through contract renewals.
