Kansas City Royals
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Perez signed a four-year deal prior to the 2022 season and has earned every bit of the money, making it an easy decision for Kansas City to exercise his club option for the 2026 season. Perez had an excellent 2025 season as a run producer, driving in 100 runs for the second consecutive season while hitting 30 homers for just the second time in his career. Perez's batting average took a tumble because he put more balls into play, and there are few batters in the league slower of foot than Perez. Kansas City has kept Perez fresher by limiting his time behind the plate to around 90 games a season in recent years, splitting the remaining games between first and DH. He is dual eligible in 2026, but his draft stock is fully driven by his catcher eligibility. Perez's volume will once again make him an above-average catcher, but the youth at the position is quickly passing him by. Slow and steady wins the race, and that is Perez in a nutshell.
