Yan Gomes won't be the only new catcher in the NL Central in 2022, as the Pittsburgh Pirates and 32-year-old Roberto Perez came to terms on a deal on Tuesday.
The Pirates are in talks with free-agent catcher Roberto Perez, tweets Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Pittsburgh has an obvious need behind the dish after trading Gold Glover Jacob Stallings to the Marlins yesterday.

Myles Straw just narrowly missed an extra year of arbitration
According to MLB Trade Rumors’ Tim Dierkes, the cutoff for Super Two eligibility this year has been set at 2.116, meaning that any player who has accrued more than two years and 116 days of MLB service time as of the end of the 2021 season will be granted an extra year of arbitration in lieu of a minimum, team-controlled salary in 2022.

Please fix it, I beg you
The Cleveland Guardians have been official for less than a week and already they have a new rival: signs.

The sign,...

The hot stove is stone cold
Don’t call it a comeback, but Sandy León is set to return to the Cleveland Guardians on a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training, according to the team. The Guardians also dealt pitcher J.C. Mejia to the Brewers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash.
