I think Peralta deserves his own thread.
For $8 M this year, Peralta provided 5.5 WAR and a 2.70 ERA over 33 regular season starts. Incredible value.
Peralta has 30+ starts for three consecutive seasons.
I’d rather have Peralta’s 2026 performance for $8 M than trade him for the equal or lesser equivalent of DL Hall and Joey Ortiz. Maybe a higher ceiling version of Caleb Durbin, if such a player is made available.
