The fans were keen on seeing what the Milwaukee Brewers would do this offseason following their NCLS loss to the LA Dodgers. While their loss may have been a reason for the fans to lose hope on their team, one key decision made them a bit happier. It was the crucial decision to pick Freddy Peralta’s $8 million worth, club option. But now there are rumors that it might not be the last we hear of his name, and according to one insider, the Red Sox might be in play.

In his recent interview, Jon Morosi talked about how the Brewers might lose Freddy Peralta to the Boston Red Sox. He said, “The Brewers are asked about his availability… You have a significant piece in the final year before free agency, they have to listen to that that is in their DNA… one team I’ll mention… the Red Sox… what they’ve been able to build there… in 2025… They are, I think, one starting pitcher away from making a real run at this.”

The Boston Red Sox reached the playoffs in 2025 but stalled early, signalling the rotation needs reinforcement. Insider reporting shows Boston is focused on adding starting pitchers and holds a deep farm system capable of trading for top arms. They seem to prefer a trade over free agency, targeting durable starters to pair with Garrett Crochet and Brayan Bello. This might indicate that the Red Sox are looking to act immediately, rather than wait to acquire a free agent for a long-term contract.

In 2025, Fastball Freddy went 17‑6 with a 2.70 ERA and 204 strikeouts over 176⅔ innings. His availability aligns with Boston’s plans to acquire a front-line starter via trade. Signing Peralta could make the Red Sox a team to watch out for in the 2026 season. His experience and dominance will make him a valuable asset for the team.

From the Milwaukee Brewers’ perspective, trading their ace would carry weight. They reportedly are open to offers, given Peralta enters free agency after 2026, and they have a history of trading stars in their final years. If the trade does happen, Boston would gain a high-impact arm just when they need it most, and the Brewers would be stripped of a key pillar at a pivotal moment.

If the Brewers move Freddy Peralta, they will trade stability for short-term financial flexibility again. Boston would inherit a proven ace, potentially turning a good rotation into an elite postseason force. Fans might chuckle at Milwaukee’s timing, losing an ace right after a dominant regular season.

The Red Sox could get another major boost from signing an infield star

The fans are uncertain about the Red Sox as they are stepping into the offseason with unanswered questions about their infield positions. Alex Bregman might be packing his bags for free agency, and Triston Casas’ struggles have even Craig Breslow squinting at the scorecard. With both spots up for grabs, the Red Sox could be eyeing a heavyweight addition, someone who can swing the bat and shift the defense.

There is a high possibility that Boston could target Seattle Mariners’ third baseman Eugenio Suárez, who hit a career-high 49 home runs and drove in 118 runs this year. He could bring the firepower that the Red Sox offense needs at the moment. But it is also to be noted that from a defensive stand point, Suárez struggled at third with minus-six outs above average. But starting him at first base could limit those shortcomings.
