- Boston scouts and executives are weighing a trade for Freddy Peralta to fortify the rotation behind Garrett Crochet.
- Milwaukee’s payroll concerns are cited as a potential trigger for a Peralta trade, per The Athletic report.
- Boston previously moved Sonny Gray in a trade, signaling a push for a win-now rotation.
