| Analysis: This was a pretty strange story - Perez gave his agent authority to agree on the $850,000 non-guaranteed minor league deal, but then expressed his discontent with the deal, because it wasn't a major league deal. Before we beat up on Perez too readily, consider that as far as we know, it's possible that something got lost in the translation between Perez, his agent and the Nats. It's still possible that he acted out of line, maybe even probable, but it's also yet another bullet point in the awful spring training storyline for the Nats. |
