I would have never thought this would have been a discussion a month ago, but I believe Sox have to pick up the option on Martin Perez for 2026.
According to the link below, it's a $10 option with a $1.5 million buyout if not exercised (essentially making it $8.5 million)
With the way he fought to come back this year and the way he pitched since coming back, he could be a good role model for our young players and an important part of the rotation if we are to contend for a division title in 2026.
What you all think?
