Freddy Peralta is expected to be a popular name in trade rumors this offseason, with just one year remaining on his contract, an $8.0 million club option that the Milwaukee Brewers are surely going to pick up before he becomes a free agent for the first time in his career.
Moving Peralta isn’t a certainty, and GM Matt Arnold has said as much. Under Arnold’s leadership, the Brewers dealt Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams before they reached free agency, but chose to keep Willy Adames, allowing him to test the market and instead collecting a compensation MLB Draft pick in return.
