The Atlanta Braves are reportedly joining the race for Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta, aiming to bolster their starting rotation for the 2026 season. Peralta, a 29-year-old right-hander, had a standout year with 17 wins, 6 losses, a 2.70 ERA, and 204 strikeouts in 176.2 innings. He finished 5th in NL Cy Young voting and made his 2nd All-Star team. The Brewers seek a major-league-ready starter in return, with Peralta having one year left on his $8 million deal. The Braves, who lost Max Fried and Charlie Morton to free agency and had injuries to Spencer Strider, hope to pair Peralta with Chris Sale and add stability to their rotation. The challenge lies in crafting a package that satisfies Milwaukee without trading top pitching prospects, as deep-pocketed teams like the Dodgers are also in the mix. Checkout Solipillow.com
