5/$7MM to the end of arbitration. 3 club options at 3.75 in 2017, then 5 in 2018, then 6 in 2019. Potentially 8/$21.75MM, a little under $5MM AAV for his first 3 free agent years.

At worst, if Perez can't hit worth a damn and regresses defensively to being merely above average, the Royals break even and don't have to use the options. (well no, actually at worst he breaks a femur and we're just out $7MM) If Perez does not regress too much and is a real legit 800ish OPS catcher with a little power and elite defense, this becomes one hell of a good deal.

edit: apparently there's $5MM worth of incentives buried in there, so could potentially be 8/$26.75MM
