“The Yankees have multiple starters on the roster, but they have a rotation need.\u00a0Gerrit Cole\u00a0and\u00a0Carlos Rod\u00f3n\u00a0are both coming back late as they complete recovery from surgery,” McCarron wrote. “They added Weathers to a group that includes last year\u2019s ace,\u00a0Max Fried, wunderkind\u00a0Cam Schlittler,\u00a0Will Warren\u00a0and\u00a0Luis Gil. <\/p>\n
“But the fickle nature of pitching and all the possible health pitfalls that come with that job, it probably would serve the Yankees to add someone like Peralta, the Brewers\u2019 ace, who has one more year remaining at $8 million before he hits free agency. He\u2019s the prize of the trade market, unless Detroit swaps\u00a0Tarik Skubal.”<\/p>\n
With Bellinger locked into the starting lineup for years to come, Jones or Dominguez could be traded to add Peralta to the pitching staff, as Peralta would be much more valuable to the team than one of the prospect outfielders would.<\/p>\n
The Yankees have major concerns surrounding their pitching staff right now. Multiple key arms are coming off injuries going into the season. Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt aren’t expected to be ready to go by opening day.<\/p>\n
As a result, swinging a trade for Peralta makes perfect sense. It would fix the Yankees’ biggest roster problem in a huge way.<\/p>\n
