You resign Perez only if it means we are getting more years. I love him and I know he deserves more money but he signed the contract. If it doesn't work in reverse (I don't see Infante giving any of the money back because he didn't live up to the contract). Perez signed that deal when he was a mostly unknown catcher. The Royals took a huge gamble that he was going to continue to hit. He could have just as easily become a good def catcher how hits like .210.
Now if we can bump his salary and get a few extra years on the end its totally worth it. Giving someone a raise doesn't make sense when you have extra people to sign and it never is a sure thing they will resign with you just because you gave the raise.
