Overview

  • The Athletic reports the Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles, Giants and Astros have checked in on Peralta, with the Mets also monitoring the situation.
  • Team officials acknowledge heavy inquiry volume, and multiple outlets say talks are fluid with no agreement viewed as imminent.
  • Peralta, 29, is coming off a 17-6 season with a 2.70 ERA, 204 strikeouts and a fifth-place finish in NL Cy Young voting.
  • The Brewers have exercised his $8 million option for 2026, leaving one season of club control before he can reach free agency.
  • President of baseball operations Matt Arnold said no proposal to date "would make any sense," as suitors gauge price against needs such as the Yankees’ early-season rotation gaps and the Astros’ tax considerations.
