The Atlanta Braves continue to look for ways to improve a rotation that’s dealt with injuries and other issues, and Freddy Peralta is reportedly now in the mix to be traded to Atlanta.
As the pitching market continues to take shape, the Braves' checking in on ace-caliber arms makes a lot of sense after last year.
The Braves don’t need him to be an ace with Spencer Strider and Chris Sale, which is another good thing.
However, the competition is real. Multiple contenders are interested, and that will raise the price.
The Milwaukee Brewers know exactly what they have and shouldn’t be rushed into moving Peralta unless the return is exactly what they want.
Ken Rosenthal reported that multiple teams are interested in making a trade.
“The Freddy Peralta talks are about to resume in earnest. Both New York clubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox are among the teams showing interest. Some low-revenue clubs that can absorb Peralta’s $8 million salary are in play as well,” he wrote.
The Braves have prospects to make a deal work, but AA is usually smart with what he wants to give up.
If these talks truly ramp up, though, Atlanta will have a lot to consider.
