Let’s count our South Side blessings. Despite inflation, polish sausage prices have not increased. The little weedy flowers that grow along the sidewalks in Bridgeport have begun to bloom, signaling the oncoming spring. And lastly, though they may fall short elsewhere, the White Sox start 2023 with three dependable catchers in their system.
Carlos Pérez debuted in the Dominican Summer League back in 2014 after being signed by the Sox as an international free agent. The 26-year-old Venezuelan travailed through the farm system, notching 21 homers and 76 RBIs in his most recent season.
Pérez was finally called up last August from Triple-A Charlotte, subbing in seven games for an injured Yasmani Grandal.
