Red Sox Among Teams Reportedly Interested In Trading For Two-Time All-Star Pitcher
The Boston Red Sox may not be done adding to their rotation.
Boston made a move to acquire Sonny Gray earlier this offseason to bolster their pitching staff. But the team may not be done, as the Red Sox are among the teams that have checked on Milwaukee Brewers star pitcher Freddy Peralta, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon.
“The Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, and Houston Astros are among the teams in on Peralta, according to people familiar with the Brewers’ discussions,” the article read, which was published on Wednesday evening. …
“No deal appears close. Talks are fluid, and the teams interested in Peralta are also exploring free agents and trades for other starting pitchers.”
Peralta had his $8 million club option picked up for the 2026 MLB season and will be a free agent at the end of the season. Although he’s a pending free agent, the Brewers still should be able to get quite a bit for him.
If the Red Sox do trade for Peralta, he would further bolster their rotation. Boston could have the top four of their rotation featuring Garrett Crochet, Peralta, Gray, and Brayan Bello.
Peralta went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA in 33 starts last season with the Brewers. He’s a two-time MLB All-Star.
