What it will take to land Brewers Freddy Peralta — and how Mets could be primed to get ace
NY Post
It’s going to take a hefty price tag to acquire Freddy Peralta.
The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon wrote Saturday that the Brewers will “ideally” want a “young, major-league ready replacement” in exchange for their ace right-hander.
The pair cited the Mets as the team in the “best position” to match Milwaukee’s ask for Peralta with young pitchers like Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong and Christian Scott to dangle.
They added that the pitching-needy Amazin’s may be able to trade for Peralta “without offering top prospect Nolan McLean.”
Earlier this week, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported that the Yankees “are looking at” Peralta after missing out on Edward Cabrera, who was traded from the Marlins to the Cubs.
Both New York baseball clubs checked in with the Brewers about the right-hander in December, according to The Post’s Joel Sherman.

It’s the bottom of the ninth, tying run on second base with two outs. Aaron Judge is at the plate with a 2-2 count. He watches a 99-mph fastball go by him below the knees that looks like ball three, except the home plate umpire rings him up for strike three. Game over.
This was what the Rangers were supposed to look like. These were the stretches — and the dominant ones, at that — they were supposed to produce consistently, with this talent and these expectations.
