The Red Sox reportedly bolstered their depth behind the plate on Wednesday, with Boston signing catcher Roberto Peréz to a contract, per Jon Heyman of The New York Post.
MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo added that Perez’s signing is a minor-league contract with Boston, which includes an invite to major-league camp. Perez will earn $1.4 million as a base salary at the big-league level.
Cotillo added that the Red Sox “pushed” for Perez last winter as a veteran depth pick-up behind both Connor Wong and Reese McGuire, with Perez ultimately opting to sign with the Giants in free agency.
