The New York Yankees' interest in Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta has been known for some time. Even as the Brewers have insisted that they are not actively shopping the 29-year-old ace, the rumblings surrounding him have only heated up as the winter has progressed, and the Yankees were one of the first clubs to jump into the mix.
However, New York hasn't been able to get close to a deal. That's partly because they're far from alone in their pursuit of Peralta. The New York Mets and Boston Red Sox are other clubs that have long been sniffing around his market.
