The Milwaukee Brewers are one of the best teams in the league this year, but they have a huge decision to make this offseason. Freddy Peralta is entering his final season on his contract, and there’s a lot of speculation that Milwaukee will trade him.
If the Brewers opt to trade Peralta, there are bound to be a lot of suitors. He’s one of the best pitchers in the league right now, and he’s coming off a huge season with Milwaukee.
The New York Mets, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and plenty of others have been named as potential suitors for the ace, so where could the Brewers look to trade him?
Prediction: Brewers trade Freddy Peralta to the Mets
The Mets are seemingly the top suitor for Peralta.
The Mets’ pitching staff crushed their hopes last season, and the front office can’t afford to go into next year with a worse rotation.
Adding Peralta would be the perfect idea.
New York could package one of its top pitching prospects and a few other young players to land Peralta. But the key to adding him would be signing him to a massive contract extension. The Mets would be better off if they could sign him before he gets to free agency, but they’d also seemingly be a top fit on the open market.
