Perez was acquired by the Mariners back in late May in a trade with the Orioles and finds himself back on the open market with Seby Zavala sticking around at Triple-A Tacoma as extra catching depth. The 31-year-old veteran backstop shouldn’t have much trouble finding a new opportunity.

The 31-year-old backstop has been stationed at Triple-A Norfolk throughout the season — slashing .221/.294/.325 with a pair of homers and 13 RBI in 85 plate appearances. He’ll add catching depth in the upper minors for the Mariners.

Perez got into three contests this past season for the Mets and posted an underwhelming .661 OPS with nine homers in 270 plate appearances for Triple-A Syracuse. The 31-year-old backstop will serve as emergency catching depth for Baltimore next season.

He’ll take the roster spot of the injured Brandon Nimmo. The 31-year-old backstop will add depth behind the plate for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Phillies. Pérez has gone 4-for-7 (.571) with a double and a run scored in his limited action with the Mets this season.
