Perez agrees to one-year deal with Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Oliver Perez bypassed salary arbitration Monday by agreeing to a one-year contract worth approximately $1.9 million.

The 24-year-old Perez appeared to be developing into one of the NL’s top left-handed power pitchers in 2004, when he had a 12-10 record, 2.98 ERA and 239 strikeouts in 196 innings.
