Since the Cincinnati Reds acquired José Peraza in a three-team trade that sent Todd Frazier to the Chicago WhiteSox in December 2015, Peraza’s role on the Cincinnati Reds has changed from season to season. The constant shuffling of positions and lack of consistent at-bats have caused Peraza to fall short of expectations. Is it time to move on from the 25-year-old?
In 2016, Peraza played the role of utility infielder, but still hit for an impressive .324 average with 3 home runs and a .352 on-base percentage in 256 plate appearances over 72 games.
