The New York Yankees<\/a> are ramping up their MLB offseason. Along with the trade for Ryan Weathers, reports suggest the Bronx Bombers can still put together a suitable trade package to pursue their top target in the pitching department. However, there is a scenario in which Weathers\u2019 arrival helps ease some of the anxiety in the Bronx before New York truly goes all in on Cody Bellinger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite acquiring Weathers, the New York Yankees are reportedly not done addressing their pitching rotation<\/a>. On the contrary, they may just be getting started. According to reports around MLB, the Evil Empire may not be so ruthless after all, as the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> could get what they are seeking in a potential Freddy Peralta trade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Yankees still have the prospects needed to trade for a frontline SP like Freddy Peralta with MIL looking for young, controllable pitching,\u201d as reported by New York Daily News Sports\u2019 Gary Phillips.<\/p>\n

According to the buzz around the league, Bellinger\u2019s dramatic offseason decision will bear no effect in the Yankees\u2019 interest in Peralta and any potential trade for the Brewers\u2019 ace.<\/p>\n

Peralta\u2019s numbers<\/p>\n

During the 2025 MLB<\/a> season, Peralta put up the following numbers as he appeared in 33 games for the Brewers: 176.2 innings pitched, allowing 124 hits, 54 runs, 53 earned runs, 21 home runs, and 66 bases on balls\/walks. <\/p>\n

It was quite a turnaround considering Peralta\u2019s numbers in 2024, when he conceded 143 hits, 74 runs, 71 earned runs, 26 home runs, and 68 bases on balls\/walks. Still there is room for improvement, and the Yankees may hope they get to watch his potential on full display.<\/p>\n

Contract situation<\/p>\n

After the Brewers accepted their club option, Peralta has been retained for the 2026 MLB season. It will be his final year under his current contract which will earn him $8 million. However, as Peralta is set to become an unrestricted free agent, Milwaukee is entertaining offers on its star pitcher.<\/p>\n

From the Yankees\u2019 perspective, trading for Peralta would only make sense if they have certainties that the 29-year-old Dominican is willing to sign an extension in the Bronx. Otherwise, the Pinstripers would be setting themselves up for a rental which may come back to bite them if they fall short of the World Series once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Yankees are ramping up their MLB offseason.
