Oswald Peraza was traded from the New York Yankees to the Los Angeles Angels, leaving behind his first MLB team with fond memories. He reflected on the pressure and responsibility of wearing the Yankees uniform, stating the weight of the uniform is considerable. Despite not making the Opening Day roster this season due to competition with Anthony Volpe, Peraza had a promising start as a top prospect. He expressed gratitude towards the fans and the organization for their role in his development as a player and person in a farewell post.
"When it comes to wearing the Yankee uniform, it's a lot of pressure, but it's also a lot of responsibility. I was trying to do my best to not let that weigh on me, because all I could do is play baseball."
"Carrying that uniform, it does have a weight to it. But I know the type of ballplayer that I am."
"I want to deeply thank everyone who contributed to my growth as a person and as a player during my time with the Yankees."
"I experienced a unique culture in the Bronx and appreciated the fans' one-of-a-kind enthusiasm during my time as a Yankee."
