"The Dodgers have been extremely active already in the offseason, signing All-Stars Edwin Diaz and Kyle Tucker to multi-year deals, and adding a starter like Peralta would be a huge boost to the team. Peralta had the best season of his MLB career in 2025, posting a career-best 2.70 ERA through 33 starts. His 5.5 bWAR marked the highest in his career as well, and he reached the 200-strikeout mark for the third season running. For his efforts, the veteran received his second All-Star selection and placed fifth in NL Cy Young voting."
"The Dodgers have a crowded rotation heading into 2025, with all of their starters from last year - bar the retired Clayton Kershaw - expected to return. L.A. ran a six-man rotation consisting of Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Emmet Sheehan towards the end of last season, and they could very well do so again in 2026 if Roki Sasaki returns to starting as expected. Additionally, starters River Ryan and Gavin Stone will make their returns from injury in the new season, giving the Dodgers plenty of options for their rotation."
Freddy Peralta remains available after the Milwaukee Brewers shopped him all offseason and the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to show interest. Peralta delivered a career-best 2.70 ERA across 33 starts in 2025, recorded 5.5 bWAR, reached 200 strikeouts for the third consecutive season, earned a second All-Star selection, and finished fifth in NL Cy Young voting. The Dodgers project a crowded rotation with most starters returning and potential six-man use if Roki Sasaki resumes starting. Multiple Dodgers pitchers missed time in 2025, and Peralta’s consistent 30-plus starts over three seasons provide valuable durability and innings.
