Report: Braves, Dodgers, Red Sox join mix for Brewers' Peralta
The list of teams interested in acquiring Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta continues to grow.
The Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Dodgers have joined the New York Mets and Yankees as clubs showing interest in the 29-year-old, sources told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon.
Some low-revenue teams that can afford Peralta's $8-million salary are reportedly also involved.
Milwaukee's asking price reportedly remains high and the Brewers are expected to require a major-league-ready starter as part of the return, according to Rosenthal and Sammon.
Peralta's been a popular trade target thanks to his affordable salary and his MLB resume. He owns a 54-34 record with a 3.30 ERA, 3.65 FIP, and 10.9 K/9 since becoming a full-time starter in 2021.
Peralta had his best campaign last season, finishing fifth in NL Cy Young voting after authoring a 2.70 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 176 2/3 innings.
