Freddy Peralta, 29, is a trade candidate for the Brewers after a strong 2025 season, drawing interest from teams like the Red Sox, Mets, and Padres.

Right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta, 29, is emerging as a trade candidate for the Milwaukee Brewers despite the team's stated desire to keep him. A strong 2025 season, with a 2.70 ERA and fifth-place NL Cy Young finish, has increased his trade value. With a $8 million salary in 2026 and a year from free agency, teams like the Red Sox, Mets, and Padres are interested. The Brewers, who have a deep pitching prospect pool, may trade him for high-upside talent if the return is significant, though they may retain him if the offer doesn’t meet expectations.
