The Brewers understandably don\u2019t seem to want to trade him, but the chances are never zero.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6i\">Tim Kelly of <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25340700-top-landing-spot-best-mlb-players-linked-trade-rumors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bleacher Report<\/a> notes that while the Brewers would be wise to keep Peralta, three American League teams would make sense for the ace as they try to boost their rosters for 2026.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6l\">If you like our content, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">choose Sports Illustrated as a preferred source on Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>3 AL Teams Linked To Freddy Peralta<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01kdr60z1knkjqzd5xw3.jpg\" alt=\"Brewers\" title=\"Brewers\" width=\"5016\" height=\"2821\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6x\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Oct 14, 2025; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta (51) throws pitch against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first inning during game two of the NLCS round for the 2025 MLB playoffs at American Family Field.

It&#8217;s just a matter of whether Milwaukee president of baseball operations Matt Arnold actually wants to deal the two-time All-Star.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"77\">The Yankees and Red Sox have solid farm systems that could satisfy the Brewers\u2019 potential asking price. They\u2019ll want Major League ready pieces in return for their ace if they do trade him, and both teams could give them that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7a\">It also wouldn\u2019t be the first time the Brewers have traded a player in the final year of his contract to bring back pieces that can help them instantly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7d\">The Astros\u2019 farm system is a little thin right now, so while Peralta would help them out, they may not have the pieces that Milwaukee would be looking for in order to get a deal done. But it should still be interesting to see if these teams actually make a run at acquiring Peralta and if they can get the Brewers to budge at all.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7g\">The Brewers were able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/offseason-midterm-grades-dodgers-braves-lead-national-league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">keep Brandon Woodruff<\/a>, so if they were to trade Peralta, they would at least still have somebody to lead the rotation and a lot of young pieces such as Jacob Misiorowski and Quinn Priester ready to step into larger roles next season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7j\">We\u2019ll see what the Brewers decide to do, but those three AL teams could potentially show interest if they are serious about rotation upgrades this winter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7m\">More MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/news-feed\/yankees-sign-free-agent-first-baseman-after-8-year-brewers-stint-jackson3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Yankees Sign Free Agent First Baseman After 8-Year Brewers Stint<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers won 97 games during the 2025 regular season, the most in Major League Baseball.
