In case you hadn’t heard, Martin Perez was moved to the bullpen. The Texas Rangers probably won’t pick up his option, either. In short, the Martin Perez experiment is over. I’m disappointed, because I liked Perez, both as a person and as a pitcher. But there’s no arguing it’s time to move on. Perez has been ineffective since he came back an injury that delayed the start to his season.
Perez is just the latest in a long line of Rangers pitchers who have failed to live up to expectations after tantalizing the team with stellar performances.
