Jarren Duran

Look at it conceptually: Duran coming off of a down here with a 4.7 war. Say he simply matches that for the next three years that would be 14.1 war. 
 

Peralta coming off his best season is a 5.5 war pitcher. He took a team friendly extension once in the past,  so I would put the odds at him declaring free agency after 2026 as near 100%,  no matter what team he is on. 
 

Megill has been a 1.5 war pitcher and has two seasons of control left.

14.1 > 5.5 + 3.

That’s why these two teams don’t really lineup for those players. Boston will certainly want more than Peralta and McGill for just Duran.
 

Additionally, the Brewers are not likely interested in dipping into their minor-league talent to acquire a corner outfield bat, where they’re already have everyday starters at those positions plus a litany of bench players  for those spots on their 40 man roster

To be clear the Brewers have Chourio and Frelick in the OF, that’s it from a productivity and reliability standpoint. There is a glaring hole!!!

Bingo

 

Give me Chourio, Duran, Frelick 

[KCBrewerfan34]

Is BOS looking for more starting pitching? I thought I read they want infield bats??

Id be disappointed in Duran for Peralta straight up.   Peralta could start a game seven comfortably while Duran is a non all star in the outfield that helps us but not enough to offset what Peralta can bring the team.

Duran was a Allstar in 2024 and finish 8th in MVP voting

While Duran had bit of a down season last year - This is his 2024 chart

No other Brewer has come close to that the last three years

Closest was Yelich in 2023

Peralta for him is a steal for the Brewers

[markedman5]

Supposedly Boston’s asking price for him is very high……..you aren’t going to get 3 years of control of Duran for 1 year of Peralta I don’t think. 

Seems to be probably a moot point…….no reports have showed the Brewers to be involved at all in talks for him…….while many other teams have been mentioned.

Thats how the Brewers operate

So then we should get conformation of the deal being done anytime now...

Duran for Peralta straight up isn’t happening from the brewers side.   But we could put together a Shane Baz type package if they want to get future value and clear room in their outfield (something like Adams, Letson, Meccage for Duran).

You’d probably have to replace Adams with Pena in that package…if you want a legit shot at getting Duran.

This is a Yankees or Red Sox fan level proposal.  You have to give up more than that for Duran.  Probably closer to what the Brewers gave up to get Yelich and your proposal comes no where close to that.

Well then, with you playing the role of Red Sox GM and me playing the role of Brewers GM, “look elsewhere for a deal sir”.

Megill, Pena, Letson and someone like Meccage. Guessing that’s the type of package it would take to get Duran.

I haven't followed Duran, but looking at the numbers, I see a good year last year and a really good year the year before.  He's already 29.  It's a little hard to know if these last two years are harbingers of greatness ahead or, given some of his lesser production last year, a blip.

Looking at Peralta, he's gradually gotten better each year, was really good this year, 29 years old, and is a more rare commodity than Duran -- solid, healthy, proven SP (one of the NL's best), let alone on a really good contract.

I don't get how a one-for-one's out of the question.  A 3- or 4-for-Duran seems absurd -- an easy & hard no -- if Peralta goes the other way.

I can definitely see how Duran would be an upgrade in the OF.  At the same time, I'm not at all eager to get rid of Freddy, even if the odds of keeping him long-term aren't great, because the rotation should definitely be much better if he's in MIL.

Nothing is ever out of the question, but I believe three years of Duran is more valuable than one year of Peralta so if a trade were to go down the Brewers would have to add something more on their end.

The most you can realistically expect Freddy to deliver in one season is about five or six wins.

Even if Duran is only like a three win guy moving forward instead of the 4.4 WAR he's averaged over the last three seasons, that's still a value gap the Brewers are going to have to make up for.

You'd have to think he's like a two win guy moving forward for the value to get close to equal, but the Red Sox are almost surely going to be looking for value more in line with that 4.4 WAR number.

I would do a deal where none of the prospects works out for the other team. 😎

[StearnsFTW]

I'm not adding a top 10 prospect for Duran, but I'd add two 10-20 guys.

 

If that's not enough, so be it.

I guess I just don't get this.  Either you think Duran is going to be a cost controlled 3-4 win player over the next three years and are willing to pay for that player or you think he's a 2 win or less player and then not worth really getting over in house or other options.

[KCBrewerfan34]

What happens in a hypothetical Duran Peralta trade and Boston re-signs FP, why in the hell would we give them additional prospects? Not to mention if BOS can’t get a deal with FP they get a comp pick.

Its the exact trade that would happen from the Brewers side. The love team control over anything

[Devinep]

I’ve always thought Durran makes a lot of sense for the Brewers all season. And I think BOS and MIL make sense as trade partners. So I’ve thought of a trade that makes sense for both sides:

brewers get:

-Jarren Durran and a pitcher they identify (ex:David Sandlin)

 

Red Sox Get:

-Freddy Peralta, Jared Koenig (BOS wants another LHP reliever), and Blake Perkins (they need a 4th OF)

Reasonable, zero chance Pena goes in a swap like this IMHO.

While I'd rather Freddy remain a Brewer -- obviously a long-term pipe dream -- this strikes me as the sort of deal that could be reasonable.

[brewcrewdue80]

Background to current Durran, I like the idea to Durran. 3 years control. Fast so would cover a lot OF. That Savant chart was very good.  8 mil it looks cost this season.

Peeking at Boston, they have a strong group.  89 wins last season.  Peralta for them makes sense. Duran at 3 years control makes Milwaukee need to include someone or multiples.

I'll do a 

Freddy Peralta

Cooper Pratt

for

Durran

David Sandlin.

 

Glossing over Sandlin's MLB profile he seems like the kind of pitcher who the pitching lab would improve and is near ML ready.

 

Pratt is a tough loss but Crew have redundancy for is position.

And its fine to blow this up.  Getting at worst a late inning pitcher back plus Durran in the OF 1-3 years.

Brewers having added the OF(name I dont recall)  Lockridge-Mitchell-Perkins, tells me they wont look to add Durran 

Pratt would fit the future need Boston will have in 2 years anywhere in the infield. Obviously Peralta aids their Staff.  Easy for Boston to extend QO after 26.

 

 

[wallus]

Peralta and Koenig (reports are they want a LHP in the bullpen and we happen to have a ton of them)

for

Duran

It makes almost too much sense to happen.
