The Milwaukee Brewers traded away ace right-hander Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets for two prospects on Wednesday night. The Brewers acquired infielder-outfielder Jett Williams, the Mets' No. 3 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, and right-hander Br...4107Thu, 22 Jan 2026 19:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-part-with-freddy-peralta-for-upside-prospect-package-from-new-york-mets-r4109/Freddy Peralta was not the first key player the Brewers traded away as he neared free agency; nor will he be the last. This is the established cycle of Milwaukee player development: acquire players before they establish themselves in the big leagues, enjoy the best years of their careers on barg...4109Thu, 22 Jan 2026 12:41:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/breaking-brewers-agree-to-trade-freddy-peralta-to-new-york-mets-r4106/The Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets are on the verge of a deal to send right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta to New York, according to a report from the New York Post's Jon Heyman. Peralta will reunite with David Stearns in Queens, while the Brewers will receive multiple pieces in return, a so...4106Thu, 22 Jan 2026 02:17:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-the-brewers-take-a-flier-on-brendan-rodgers-to-boost-their-infield-depth-r4104/The Brewers have had a predictably quiet offseason. Milwaukee is returning most of the roster that won a league-leading 97 regular-season games last year. ZiPS projects them for at least 2 fWAR—the benchmark for a capable starter—at every position but first base. Because the existing team h...4104Wed, 21 Jan 2026 12:53:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-two-ways-brewers-could-end-up-trading-freddy-peralta-to-san-diego-padres-r4103/The Milwaukee Brewers have found common ground with the San Diego Padres multiple times during the tenure of Padres executive A.J. Preller. The extremely aggressive Preller is budget-constrained, but not in the same ways the Brewers are, and the two teams share enough overlap in the way they eva...4103Tue, 20 Jan 2026 23:26:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/four-lefties-the-brewers-could-sign-late-in-free-agency-r4102/During their recent run of success, the Brewers have been famous for some late signings that ended up paying off big-time. For instance, Jose Quintana became a rotation mainstay in 2025, helping the team power through early injuries. Could they find similar magic again in 2026? Milwaukee cu...4102Tue, 20 Jan 2026 15:03:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/who-might-headline-the-return-in-a-freddy-peralta-trade-r4099/As we reported at Brewer Fanatic earlier this month, the Brewers are focused on landing controllable starting pitching in return for Freddy Peralta. The impending free agent has attracted a vast number of suitors, due to his paltry $8-million salary in 2026 and off the back of his third straight...4099Tue, 20 Jan 2026 12:55:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-are-right-in-giving-joey-ortiz-another-chance-r4094/While Joey Ortiz may have tested his manager’s patience with his poor plate discipline throughout a trying 2025 season, the Brewers continued to give him a long leash as their everyday shortstop. It seems there’s still plenty of slack left on that leash, as president of baseball operations Matt...4094Sun, 18 Jan 2026 13:16:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/looking-back-here-are-the-top-5-brewers-transactions-of-the-2025-season-r4086/The Brewers' offseason has been - in a word - quiet - as we wait in anticipation for the Freddy Peralta trade that feels inevitable. The Brewers are masters of improving on the margins and making seemingly small (or even tiny) moves that result in acquiring players with an outsized impact on the...4086Sat, 17 Jan 2026 12:53:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/will-brewers-sign-a-veteran-backup-catcher-while-they-still-have-the-chance-r4088/But for a devastating shoulder injury, Jeferson Quero would already have made his major-league debut. He would even be a natural fit as the Brewers' backup catcher for 2026, and perhaps he'd have done enough that the team would have more seriously considered trading William Contreras this winter...4088Thu, 15 Jan 2026 23:06:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-swing-path-analysis-should-inform-brewers-plans-for-playing-matchups-at-first-base-r4085/One way or another, Andrew Vaughn and Jake Bauers will divide time at first base for the 2026 Milwaukee Brewers. In 2025, each was a productive hitter. Vaughn batted .308/.375/.493 in 254 plate appearances after joining the team in early July. Bauers played a much smaller role and didn't enjoy t...4085Wed, 14 Jan 2026 23:03:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-yankees-trade-for-marlins-starter-ryan-weathers-what-suitors-remain-for-freddy-peralta-r4083/The New York Yankees wanted to use outfield prospect Dillon Lewis as the centerpiece of a trade to bolster their starting rotation, but the Brewers were never going to accede to a deal focused on Lewis in exchange for Freddy Peralta. Thus, New York circled back to the Miami Marlins Tuesday, afte...4083Wed, 14 Jan 2026 12:20:42 +0000
