A three-team July 2024 trade represented a long-term move for the White Sox while the Dodgers pursued a win-now approach. Only Miguel Vargas has reached the majors from the deal, slashing .231/.307/.397 with 13 home runs. Infield prospects Jeral Perez and Alexander Albertus remain in the minors. Perez, a 6-foot Dominican middle infielder, has spent 2025 with High-A Winston-Salem, hitting his 20th home run and recording his 100th hit. Perez is batting .396 in August with a 1.110 OPS, totaling four home runs and 11 RBIs in 64 plate appearances. He ranks No.21 among White Sox prospects.
A three-team trade in July of 2024 always represented a long-term play for the White Sox. That's especially true compared to the win-now Los Angeles Dodgers, who acquired Michael Kopech and Tommy Edman on their way to the 2024 World Series title. The St. Louis Cardinals have found themselves in no-man's land just over a year later, sitting five games out of the playoffs and with Erick Fedde and Tommy Pham having joined different organizations.
But Perez, spending the entire 2025 season with the High-A Winston-Salem Dash, hit a notable benchmark on Tuesday. In the third inning of a 5-1 victory, Perez slugged his 20th home run of the season. It also marked the 100th hit of the 20-year-old's fourth professional season. Perez has caught fire of late, producing the best month of his 2025 season. Following Tuesday's performance, he's batting .396 in August with a 1.110 OPS, four home runs and 11 RBIs in 64 plate appearances.
