Vaughn has career .830 OPS with bases loaded and two outs (24 PA) source
Frelick has career .321 OPS with bases loaded and two outs (13 PA) source
Vaughn has .686 career OPS in ‘high leverage’ situations compared to Frelick’s .652 OPS. Sal has higher OBP
Vaughn is better in 9th inning and ‘late and close’ situations compared to Sal’s career numbers
I’ll take Vaughn in 2026 in most situations
Conclusion: Frelick should be sent to Nashville to work on things 🙂
Peralta is coming off three consecutive seasons of 200 strikeouts. Only Dylan Cease has more strikeouts than Peralta since 2023. Cease is probably a good comp for Peralta and he got $210 million. I doubt Freddy comes close to that number, though.
