The Milwaukee Brewers attempted to re-acquire pitcher Freddy Peralta before he was traded from the New York Mets to the Tampa Bay Rays. Jim Bowden of The Athletic reported that Milwaukee expressed interest in Peralta as they sought pitching help. Ultimately, the Rays made a more attractive offer, leading to Peralta's departure. Milwaukee was cautious about giving up too much for a player who could be a rental, given his struggles this season with a 4.99 ERA.
