"The Los Angeles Dodgers are rumored to be kicking the tires on a potential Freddy Peralta trade as the Milwaukee Brewers shop him around. It would be the Dodgers' second splash of the offseason after already signing Edwin Díaz to bolster their bullpen. Starting pitching is far from the Dodgers' biggest need heading into the 2026 season, but consistently looking for ways to upgrade and acquire high-end talent has been a hallmark of the organization under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman."
"L.A. has a plethora of starting options to fill out the back-end of their rotation, but Peralta is a proven veteran who offers a higher celling than the likes of River Ryan, Emmet Sheehan or Gavin Stone, who are still early in their careers. Expecting to lose Peralta in free agency after the 2026 season, the Brewers are attempting to sell high on him."
The Dodgers are exploring a trade for Freddy Peralta while the Brewers shop him around. The move would follow the Dodgers' signing of Edwin Díaz and would represent another offseason upgrade. Starting pitching is not the team's primary need entering 2026, but the organization continues to target high-end talent under Andrew Friedman. Peralta offers a higher ceiling than River Ryan, Emmet Sheehan, or Gavin Stone. The Brewers expect to lose Peralta to free agency after 2026 and are seeking to sell high, demanding a major-league-ready starting pitcher in return. Roki Sasaki, Stone, and Ryan are unlikely trade pieces; Emmet Sheehan and prospect Jackson Ferris emerge as more realistic assets to move.
