P\u00e9rez was signed by the San Diego Padres as an amateur free agent in 1999. He made his debut with the Padres in 2002. P\u00e9rez did well for a rookie after being called up by the Padres in 2002, striking out over a batter per inning, but he suffered from control issues at times. He regressed somewhat in 2003.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In August 2003, P\u00e9rez was sent by San Diego to Pittsburgh along with Jason Bay and Cory Stewart in exchange for Brian Giles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Before the 2004 season, the team overhauled his pitching mechanics. His average of 10.97 strikeouts per nine innings was highest in the Majors (239 SO\/196 IP); his 2.98 ERA was fifth in the National League (tied with Roger Clemens); and his 12\u201310 record could have been ever better with reasonable run support early in the season. Pirates’ bats provided two or fewer runs in P\u00e9rez’ 16 starts before All-Star break, causing him to post a 5\u20134 record with five no decisions despite a 3.24 ERA. In that season, P\u00e9rez pitched at least six innings and allowed three or fewer runs in 21 of his 30 starts (70%). Through this first three seasons, P\u00e9rez had compiled a 20\u201325 record with 474 strikeouts and a 3.86 ERA in 412.2 innings. His 239 strikeouts that year are currently the third-most in a season by a modern-day Pirate, trailing only Bob Veale’s 276 in 1965 and 250 in 1964.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In 2006, P\u00e9rez opened the Pirates’ season as the number one starter. On June 27, P\u00e9rez was sent to the Pirates bullpen after struggling through the first half of the season with an ERA over 6.00. On June 29, he was sent to the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians, with Tom Gorzelanny being called up to replace him in the starting rotation.<\/p>\n

On July 31, 2006, P\u00e9rez and Roberto Hern\u00e1ndez were traded to the New York Mets in exchange for Xavier Nady. The Mets assigned P\u00e9rez to their AAA affiliate, the Norfolk Tides. He was recalled to the Mets’ major league roster on August 26, 2006. After two subpar starts, P\u00e9rez threw a complete game shutout against the Atlanta Braves in the second game of a doubleheader on September 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Entering the 2007 season, there were concerns about the Mets’ pitching staff and whether P\u00e9rez could live up to his potential. However, P\u00e9rez finished the 2007 season 15\u201310 with a 3.56 ERA, striking out 174 in 177 innings pitched, while walking 79 (7th-most in the NL).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the 2008 season, P\u00e9rez was inconsistent, posting a record of 10\u20137 with a 4.22 ERA. He was also prone to big innings striking at any moment. An example was in a start against the San Francisco Giants, he went \u20443 of an inning allowing 5 hits and 6 runs, all of them earned. An example of his dominance was his start against the New York Yankees on June 29. P\u00e9rez went 7 innings allowing just one run on a home run by Wilson Betemit, striking out a season-high 8 batters. After the firing of manager Willie Randolph, P\u00e9rez pitched better. At the request of Pedro Mart\u00ednez and pitching coach Dan Warthen, he changed his delivery to the plate. Instead of letting his head hang down when he made his delivery, he made a bowing motion. He led the majors in walks, with 105, and was 10th in the NL in wild pitches, with 9. His 17 no decisions were the most among MLB starting pitchers in 2008.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On February 3, 2009, the Mets signed P\u00e9rez to a three-year $36 million deal. On May 6, P\u00e9rez was put on the disabled list due to patellar tendinitis in his right leg. He returned to the rotation on July 8, 2009. On August 26, P\u00e9rez was diagnosed with patellar tendinitis in his right knee and underwent season-ending surgery. He finished the season 3\u20134 with a 6.82 ERA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On May 15, 2010, manager Jerry Manuel moved P\u00e9rez to the bullpen. P\u00e9rez refused a minor league assignment to work on his pitching, despite both his poor play and repeated attempts by the Mets’ front office.<\/p>\n

On June 5, 2010, the Mets placed P\u00e9rez on the 15-day DL due to patella tendinitis of his right knee. As P\u00e9rez was placed on the DL soon after refusing an assignment to the minor leagues a second time, the league investigated the timing of the DL stint, later clearing it. After July 21, P\u00e9rez made only six appearances, all in relief. P\u00e9rez finished the 2010 season 0-5, with a 6.80 ERA in 46.1 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Mets unconditionally released P\u00e9rez on March 21, 2011, still responsible for the remaining $12 million on his contract.<\/p>\n

On March 23, 2011, the Washington Nationals signed P\u00e9rez to a minor league contract. Perez chose to join the Nationals because their pitching coordinator, Spin Williams, was his pitching coach with Pittsburgh. P\u00e9rez was assigned to the Harrisburg Senators of the Class AA Eastern League. He was 3-5 and pitched to a 3.09 ERA in 15 starts, but did not receive a promotion. Williams suggested to P\u00e9rez that he should transition into a relief pitcher.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On January 19, 2012, the Seattle Mariners signed P\u00e9rez to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. The contract contained a $750,000 bonus for making the Mariners 25-man roster and $250,000 in performance incentives. P\u00e9rez made 22 relief appearances with the Tacoma Rainiers of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League, was 2-2 with a 4.65 ERA, and was promoted to the major league club on June 16 as a reliever. In his first month back in the majors since 2010, observers took note of his improved fastball velocity and strikeout-to-walk ratio. In 2012, P\u00e9rez went 1-3 with a 2.12 ERA with 29.2 innings in 33 games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On August 7, 2015, the Arizona Diamondbacks traded P\u00e9rez to the Houston Astros for minor league pitcher Junior Garcia. In 2015 with Houston, he was 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA. He was included on the Astros ALDS roster against the Kansas City, he was 0-0 with a 27.00 ERA in 2 appearances as the Astros lost in five games.<\/p>\n

On December 11, 2015, P\u00e9rez signed a two-year, $7 million contract with the Washington Nationals. On April 24, 2016, with the Nationals trailing the Minnesota Twins after 15 innings, and with two outs and Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa on second base, P\u00e9rez hit a bunt that appeared to be rolling foul, but Minnesota catcher John Ryan Murphy picked it up and threw it away while attempting a putout at first, allowing Espinosa to score the tying run from second. In the next inning, Washington right fielder Chris Heisey hit a leadoff home run to end the game, and P\u00e9rez was credited with the win. In 2016, he was 2-3 with a 4.95 ERA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On February 24, 2018, P\u00e9rez signed a minor-league contract with the Cincinnati Reds. He was released on March 22, 2018.<\/p>\n

On March 31, 2018, P\u00e9rez signed a minor-league contract with the New York Yankees. He was released on June 1, 2018, after exercising an opt-out clause that would grant him his release if he was not called up to the majors.<\/p>\n

On June 2, 2018, P\u00e9rez signed a major-league deal with the Cleveland Indians. He contributed to a notable oddity on June 29, when he recorded a relief appearance with a walk and no pitches. This is because under recent MLB rules changes, it was no longer necessary to actually pitch four balls in order to grant an intentional walk. After Perez had been brought into the game by manager Terry Francona to pitch to left-handed batter Dustin Fowler, Oakland Athletics’ manager Bob Melvin sent right-handed batter Mark Canha to pinch hit. Francona then ordered an intentional base on balls, and Canha was awarded first base with no pitches being thrown. Melvin then had Chad Pinder (right) pinch-hit for Matt Joyce (left), so Francona countered by replacing P\u00e9rez with right-handed reliever Zach McAllister, thus making P\u00e9rez the first MLB pitcher to officially pitch in a game without actually throwing any pitches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Indians re-signed P\u00e9rez to a one-year contract on January 25, 2019. The deal includes a vesting option for the 2020 season. For the 2019 season, P\u00e9rez finished with a 3.98 ERA in 67 games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On July 26, 2020, P\u00e9rez appeared in the 18th Major League season of his career, becoming the longest-tenured Mexican player in league history. With the 2020 Cleveland Indians, P\u00e9rez appeared in 21 games, compiling a 1\u20131 record with 2.00 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 18.0 innings pitched. He became a free agent following the 2020 season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
