@moonslav59, you asked about Perales's option years remaining. Chris Hatfield said on the recent pod that he currently has 1 option year remaining for next season BUT there's a chance that he could earn a 4th option year for 2027. He didn't go into detail about it, but it would be because of the TJS that prevented him from being added to a roster as he's essentially rehabbing right now. The rule per mlb.com is:
Players typically have three option years, but those who have accrued less than five full seasons (including both the Major and Minors) are eligible for a fourth if their three options have been exhausted already. For the purposes of this rule, spending at least 90 days on an active Major League or Minor League roster during a given season counts as one full season. Players also earn a full season if they spend at least 30 days on an active Major League or Minor League roster AND their active-roster and injured-list time amounts to at least 90 days in a given season.
