Royals Announce Two-Year Contract with Salvador Perez

The Kansas City Royals tonight announced a two-year contact agreement with catcher Salvador Perez through the 2027 season. “Salvy is a Royals legend and one of the most important players this franchise has ever had,” said Executive Vice President/General Manager J.J. Picollo. “We had the option for next year, but everyone knew we wanted to make sure his legacy with us continued longer than that. We appreciate Salvy’s commitment to the Royals, and we’re just as excited as our fans.” Perez, 35, is a nine-time All-Star, five-time Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner, five-time Silver Slugger Award winner, the 2015 World Series Most Valuable Player and the 2024 Roberto Clemente Award winner. In 2023, Perez was named the fourth Captain in franchise history.

I like the idea of guys remaining loyal with one team.   

 

Source: Salvador Perez's new contract with the #Royals is worth a guaranteed $25 million over the two years. There's a signing bonus and some deferred money within the contract, but it essentially works out to $12.5 million a year.

Clase, a 27-year-old Dominican All-Star closer with a sub-2.00 ERA over five MLB seasons, allegedly shared pitch details for bribes starting in 2023, while 26-year-old starter Ortiz joined in June 2025 by intentionally throwing balls in two games for $12,000 total.

Bad timing for Ortiz to jump on board
