"Peralta, 29, may not be on the same level of star power as someone like Burnes but he's still an exciting pitcher in his own right. Since joining Milwaukee's rotation full time in 2021, Peralta has been among the game's most reliable starters with a 3.30 ERA and 3.65 FIP across 738 1/3 innings of work. He's struck out an impressive 29.6% of his opponents in that time while walking 9.0%,"
"The fact that he'll make just $8MM in 2026 should only serve to increase his market, with teams like the Padres facing financial constraints and clubs that typically put together lower overall budgets like the Orioles and Rays not necessarily being forced out of the bidding by financial considerations. The Giants, Braves, and Blue Jays are among a number of clubs known to be on the hunt for starting pitching help this winter as well, so it's easy to see a robust market for"
Freddy Peralta has been a dependable member of Milwaukee's rotation since 2021, compiling a 3.30 ERA and 3.65 FIP across 738 1/3 innings while striking out 29.6% and walking 9.0% of batters. He delivered a career year with a 2.70 ERA over 176 2/3 innings and finished fifth in NL Cy Young voting. Milwaukee's pattern of trading quality, cost-controlled players combined with a limited payroll makes Peralta a likely trade candidate as his control window narrows. An estimated $8 million salary in 2026 broadens his appeal to both budget-conscious and big-market clubs seeking starting pitching.
