Brian Jordan and Eddie Perez sign minor league contracts
Brian Jordan and Eddie Perez have signed minor league contracts with the Braves. Both have been invited to spring training with the club and will try to prove they’re healthy and can be productive at the major league level once again. Jordan stands a better chance of making the club out of spring training as doctors repaired the completely-torn meniscus in his surgically-repaired left knee on November 15th. He hopes to see it return to full strength in the coming months. Perez, on the other hand, had arthroscopic surgery on his injured right shoulder in October but still hasn’t been able to throw with it since. He will likely rehab in the minor leagues until he is capable of contributing at the major league level, either with the Braves or another club (Brian McCann and Todd Pratt have likely nailed down the Braves’ catching spots barring injury). If he is unable to recover the Braves have promised Perez a coaching spot on one of their minor league teams.
