"Perez is already under team control through the 2029 season and doesn't even become arbitration-eligible until next winter, so there is zero urgency on Miami's part to move a pitcher who looks like a cornerstone. Of course, the Marlins' stance could change if a team approached them with a truly huge trade proposal for Perez, but barring that type of Godfather offer, Perez will surely be staying put."
"Perez has still thrown only 186 2/3 innings in the majors, split almost evenly between 91 1/3 innings in his 2023 rookie season and 95 1/3 frames this past year. In between, of course, the 2024 campaign was a total wash for Perez due to Tommy John surgery, and his recovery from the procedure kept the righty from making his 2025 debut until June 9."
"The return to action went fairly smoothly, as Perez posted a 4.25 ERA, 27.3% strikeout rate, and 8.3% walk rate in 2025. This was an identical match to his 2023 walk rate and only a slight drop from his 28.9K% in his rookie year, and while Perez had a 3.15 ERA in 2023, his SIERA totals over the two seasons (3.94 in 2023, 3.80 in 2025) were pretty much the same."
The Marlins are open to trading starting pitchers but are keeping 22-year-old right-hander Perez effectively off-limits absent an exceptional offer. Perez remains under club control through 2029 and does not reach arbitration eligibility until next winter, removing urgency to move him. Perez has thrown only 186 2/3 major-league innings, with 2024 lost to Tommy John surgery and a delayed 2025 debut on June 9. He returned with a 4.25 ERA, a 27.3% strikeout rate and an 8.3% walk rate in 2025, showing similar underlying SIERA figures to his 2023 season and maintaining elite fastball metrics despite some hard contact.
