"The right-hander is in the final year of his contract and is slated to make $8MM next season. Brandon Woodruff's acceptance of the qualifying offer gives the Brewers another option in the rotation if they move Peralta, though both Brewers owner Mark Attanasio and president of baseball operations Matt Arnold described Woodruff's return and a potential Peralta trade as " independent decisions.""
"Alonso has been one of the premier home run hitters in the league since his 2019 debut, leaving the yard at least 34 times in each full season of his career (excluding the shortened 2020 campaign). Alonso signed a two-year deal to return to the Mets last offseason. He opted out of the second year of the pact in early November."
Milwaukee faces payroll constraints that could prompt a Freddy Peralta trade before his final contract year. Peralta is slated to make $8MM next season and Brandon Woodruff's acceptance of the qualifying offer provides rotation depth, though both Brewers owner Mark Attanasio and president of baseball operations Matt Arnold described Woodruff's return and a potential Peralta trade as " independent decisions." Boston is pursuing additional middle-of-order power and has been linked to Pete Alonso and Kazuma Okamoto. Alonso has produced consistent home-run totals since 2019 and opted out of his Mets deal. Okamoto has supplied NPB power since 2018 and was posted by the Yomiuri Giants. Baltimore is tracking top free-agent starters including Framber Valdez and Tatsuya Imai.
