The non-tender deadline is today, and following a paltry showing in 2019, José Peraza is dangerously close to being sent on his way. However, the Cincinnati Reds should not let Peraza go just yet, as the 25-year-old still has some value.
Look, I won’t apologize for it, I’m a big fan of José Peraza. In 2018, Peraza surprised a lot of fans by leading the Reds in hits (182), falling just short of Barry Larkin’s club-record for hits by a shortstop. He smashed 31 doubles and saw a career-high in home runs (14) and RBIs (58).
