Pirates Sign Wily Peralta To Minors Pact
11 months agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates have signed right-hander Wily Peralta to a minor-league deal. The deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training. The veteran didn't appear in the big leagues at all in the 2023 season after signing a minor-league deal with the Washington Nationals, a little surprising considering he worked to a healthy 2.93 ERA across 47 appearances (19 starts) spanning 132 innings with the Detroit Tigers from 2021-2022. However, he vastly out-pitched his peripherals in that time as he also posted a 4.93 xFIP, 5.15 SIERA, and a very weak 4.9% K-BB% as a member of the Tigers, suggesting regression was a near certainty moving forward. His likeliest path to a roster spot with the Pirates would be as a long reliever who can also make a spot start for the club in 2024.
