"Both New York clubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox are among the teams showing interest. Some low-revenue clubs that can absorb Peralta's $8 million salary are in play as well. The Brewers' price, even with Peralta under club control for one more season, remains high. A major-league-ready starting pitcher figures to be part of the desired return, so the team can remain a contender."
"And the calculus also includes this: Any team that acquires Peralta can recoup one prospect by making him a qualifying offer and receiving a likely Competitive Balance Round A pick in the low 30s in 2027. A [Braves] trade for Peralta or [MacKenzie] Gore would appear less likely than signing a free agent at a reduced price, if it comes to that with any of the remaining Valdez/Suárez/Gallen trio. The Braves are reluctant to move any of their better pitching prospects."
