The Milwaukee Brewers may pursue a trade with the New York Mets if they cannot acquire Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers before the trade deadline. With Skubal being a top target, the Brewers are considering backup options, including Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta. Peralta, despite a tough season and a 4.99 ERA, performed well with Milwaukee last year and could be a beneficial addition. The Brewers are looking to strengthen their starting rotation ahead of the postseason.
- •Brewers targeting Tarik Skubal as a primary trade option.
- •If Skubal is unavailable, a deal with the Mets for Freddy Peralta is possible.
- •Peralta has struggled this season but had success with Milwaukee in 2025.
- •Brewers need additional starting pitching for the postseason run.
- •Peralta's trade value may be lower due to his disappointing performance.
