Perez, 30, was sent over from the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Mets for cash considerations last year, and was outrighted in October.
Last week, the Mets figured out a deal with catcher Tomás Nido.
FanSided’s Robert Murray reported: Catcher Tomás Nido and the New York Mets are in agreement on a two-year, $3.7 million contract, according to sources familiar with the deal. The deal, which covers Nido’s remaining arbitration years, pays $1.6 million in 2023 and $2.1 million in 2024.
The club also signed former All-Star catcher Omar Narváez last month to a one-year, $8 million contract with a player option for 2024 worth $7 million.
