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.
