Peraza has seen the majority of the work recently, but his time could be coming to an end. The Yankees are reportedly doing their homework on the third base market, and FanSided's Thomas Carannante predicted that Peraza would not be on the 40-man roster by the time the trade deadline arrives.
"All in all, the Yankees ruined Peraza with their preferential treatment of Anthony Volpe years ago," wrote Carannante. "It is what it is. On the other hand, Peraza has also done himself zero favors and has only validated the Yankees' decision to keep running Volpe out there every day. It seemed Peraza's ceiling could've been a valuable infield utility option, especially after Oswaldo Cabrera went down, but instead he's been one of the worst qualified MLB hitters to date. They will not find a trade partner here; it will be a clean DFA to welcome whoever it is that should be able to do far better."
Peraza is slashing .150/.212/.242 this season. The Yankees have World Series aspirations, and they are not going to meet them if they keep trotting Peraza out to play third base.
