  1. Work your magic, Niebla! And when I mean magic, I mean make him a 5th starter innings eater that can let up 4 runs in 5 innings and give us a chance every 5th day….

  2. Let’s hope that he can be his 2022 version of himself for the rest of his stay in Americas finest city.

  3. AJ Preller former Rangers special! Perez did win a ring with them last year FWIW. With the pen upgrades, this guy as a 5th SP isn’t a terrible option.

  4. was hoping for some “he’s got world series experience” but it looks like he didn’t pitch in the playoffs. either that or BBref excludes playoff games from their game logs.

    i suppose anybody we would have gotten wouldn’t be pitching in the playoffs anyway.

  5. Jacob and Gillespie sent down, is Moreno gonna get sent down too, or is Davis getting cut?

  6. Dodgers, we see your Jack Flaherty and raise you one Martin Perez. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  7. This move eats innings and protects arms until Joe and/or Yu get back, provides a bit of insurance should Joe have a setback and Yu doesn’t make it back…LFGSD!

  8. Martin Perez is a groundball pitcher. Should work very well with our elite infield defense. His current BABIP is a .351 which is very high. This could be due to the pirates below-average defense. He will most likely settle into a 4.50 ERA guy.

    If Joe can come back for October, this guy can get us there / give us some insurance in the postseason.

    PEOPLE THIS IS GOOD. BIG LEAGUE PITCHERS DON’T GROW ON TREES.

  9. Welp. We needed *someone* to be a depth starter, and we got him…here’s hoping Musgrove comes back and just dominates, cos otherwise, we’re still in a bit of trouble.

  10. Buzzer-beater if true, but checks a lot of Padres boxes (former Ranger, candidate for Ruben Magic). If the price is right, it’s a good add.

  11. i would have rather seen Wolf get the starts until Yu or Joe comes back, but it’s good to have backup in case Cease, Waldron, King, or Randy has to miss a start or two at some point
