On second thought … Rockies say no to Neifi
Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Neifi Perez's homecoming with the Colorado Rockies isn't going to happen.
Perez and the Rockies had agreed to a $750,000 minor-league contract Tuesday, a goodwill gesture that manager Clint Hurdle called a lifeline for one of the more popular players in club history who has hit hard times of late.
But the team later had second thoughts and decided against bringing him back.
"We just didn't feel like it was a good fit," assistant general manager Bill Geivett said.
The only player suspended by baseball for stimulants since they were banned before the 2006 season, Perez has 18 games remaining on an 80-game suspension he received last season while with the Tigers after testing positive for a third time.
Perez hit just .172 with one homer and six RBIs in 64 at-bats for the Tigers last season. | |
