“The Baltimore Orioles , Boston Red Sox , New York Yankees , San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros are among the teams in on Peralta,” wrote Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon .
The 29-year-old Peralta is eligible free agency after the 2026 season when he’s set to earn $8 million.
The two-time All-Star went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 3.64 FIP, 204 strikeouts and 66 walks in 33 starts (176 ⅔ innings) this past season.
The Athletic noted that “no deal appears close.”
Peralta, a Dominican Republic native, has spent his entire eight-year career so far with Milwaukee . He has posted a 3.59 ERA in 211 career outings (162 starts). He became a full-time starter in 2021.
