The 24-year-old Pereira was once considered one of baseball's
top prospects. He hit .300 with 18 homers and 64 RBIs over two
minor league stops in 2023.
But Pereira hasn't been able to find any success in the majors.
He played in 27 games with the Yankees in 2023, batting .151 (14
for 93) with no homers and 10 RBIs. He was traded to Tampa Bay
on July 31 for infielder José Caballero.
Pereira, who had right elbow surgery on June 4, 2024, hit .138
(9 for 65) with two homers and eight RBIs in 23 games with the
Rays this season.
Murray, 26, played for Triple-A Durham this year, batting .241
with 18 homers and 58 RBIs in 137 games. He was a fourth-round
pick in the 2020 amateur draft.
Wilson, 31, went 2-2 with a 3.42 ERA and two saves in 59
appearances with Chicago this year. Gómez, 26, pitched for the
White Sox, Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers this season, going
3-3 with a 5.17 ERA in nine starts and 12 relief appearances.
Chicago also acquired left-hander Chris Murphy in a trade with
the Boston Red Sox, and the White Sox placed lefty Fraser Ellard
on the voluntary retired list.
Tampa Bay also traded right-hander Eric Orze to Minnesota and
infielder Tristan Gray to Boston. The Rays got minor league
right-hander Jacob Kisting from the Twins and minor league
right-hander Luis Guerrero from the Red Sox.
Tampa Bay designated outfielders Jake Fraley and Christopher
Morel for assignment. Right-hander Forrest Whitley was granted
his release to pursue a playing opportunity in Japan.
