CINCINNATI -- While many of his teammates are getting settled in for their offseason and resting their bodies after the grind of a 162-game schedule, Reds infielder Jose Peraza took very little time off.
Peraza joined his Venezuelan winter ball club, Magallanes, on Saturday and played in his first game on Tuesday. He was 2-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and a run scored.
"I need to be more consistent, offensively," Peraza said via translator Julio Morillo on Sept. 30. "So I'm going to go back to Venezuela and play winter ball and hopefully make the adjustments to be better next year.
