While I would love to see Cease in a Braves' uni, I think he may get a much better deal elsewhere with Atlanta's seeming insistence on being "logical" with every free agent (cue Friedman's famous quote). Milwaukee has a penchant for really getting something extra out of pitchers, and Peralta is a finished product who will be too expensive for them to keep much longer.

There's never been any indication Skubal and the Tigers were close on a contract extension, nor is there a sign the team's willingness to trade him has changed. Steve Adams and I differ on the likelihood of an offseason trade happening. In a discussion last week, Steve pegged the chances of a Skubal trade this winter at 0.25%. I'm more in the range of 5-10%.

Shortly after they were swept out of the NLCS by the dominant Los Angeles Dodgers, it came out that the Milwaukee Brewers were going to listen to trade offers regarding their ace, Freddy Peralta. Draw up the immediate links to the Mets. The 29-year-old right-hander's value could not be much higher ahead of a 2026 season in which he has a club option worth $8 million before hitting free agency the following winter.

Andrew Vaughn made a standout debut with his new team by hitting a three-run homer in his first plate appearance, contributing significantly to the team's performance.

This was another lineup we expected the lefties to be at the top, and they countered, but that's part of this. You run that risk.
