Athletics' Francisco Perez: Back in Oakland

Perez re-signed Thursday with the Athletics on a minor-league contract.

Just one day after he elected free agency upon being outrighted off Oakland's 40-man roster, Perez opted to stick with the organization on a new deal. The 26-year-old lefty made 17 appearances at the big-league level in 2023, logging a 5.94 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 16.2 innings.
