Martín Pérez Elects Free Agency After Clearing Outright Waivers

Veteran left-handed starter Martín Pérez has elected to become a free agent after clearing waivers. While Pérez is now free to test the open market and sign with any organization, reports suggest a return to his previous organization remains a plausible outcome. The veteran southpaw will look for a new opportunity to bolster a major league rotation or provide experienced depth. His decision to enter free agency follows a period of roster movement as teams finalize their mid-season pitching needs.
