Brewers Ace Freddy Peralta Likely Trade Candidate Amid Strong 2025 Season

Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta, 29, is reportedly a "likely" trade candidate this winter as he enters the final year of his club control before free agency. Brewers president Matt Arnold acknowledged significant interest in Peralta, stating the team can "never shut the door on anything" regarding players, despite wanting to compete with him next season. Peralta is coming off his best career season in 2025, leading the NL with 17 wins, posting a career-best 2.70 ERA, and recording 204 strikeouts in 33 starts. He holds a career 3.59 ERA over 162 starts in eight seasons with Milwaukee.
