- In 2025, he posted a 17-6 record, a 2.70 ERA, 204 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.075 over 176 innings pitched. This trade is also dependent on the O’s re-signing him, though.
- He’s got one year left on his current deal and is projected to receive a five-year, $152 million deal in 2027. However, the O’s shelled out for Pete Alonso, so doing the same for Peralta is definitely doable.
- Hopefully, they do and get negotiations started with Milwaukee while they still can.
