Congrats Mallex.

Interesting that we've been playing peraza in cf and we promote Mallex there. My guess is we're shopping peraza
Yeah, this obviously ends the Peraza-in-CF experiment. I think we either need to call him up to play 3B or switch him back to SS if we're planning on dealing him. They may still be waiting to get more of a look at Peterson, but they seem to have determined Peterson is the future at 2B. And with Albies coming, you can take that risk; even if Peterson slides in the next year or two, Albies should be ready by then to take over.

I think Peraza's best value to us at this point is clearly in a trade. I would try to package him and a SP prospect (Jenkins, Sanchez, Banuelos) and maybe something else smaller, like Eury Perez, and see what you can get.
