Report: Dodgers still pursuing Peralta after adding Tucker
The Los Angeles Dodgers might not be done after signing outfielder Kyle Tucker.
Los Angeles remains interested in acquiring Milwaukee Brewers ace right-hander Freddy Peralta, reports The Athletic's Katie Woo.
The Dodgers' rotation's injury issues in 2025 make a Peralta trade worth exploring, Woo adds. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the only Dodgers starter who didn't spend time on the injured list last season.
Dodgers' projected 2026 rotation
| PITCHER | THROWS |
|---|---|
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto | R |
| Blake Snell | L |
| Tyler Glasnow | R |
| Shohei Ohtani | R |
| Emmet Sheehan | R |
| Roki Sasaki | R |
Landing Peralta would require a significant trade package, with the Brewers reportedly desiring a major-league ready replacement for him in a deal.
Peralta, a two-time All-Star, is heading into his final season before free agency and is owed just $8 million for 2026. The 29-year-old is coming off his finest campaign, having finished fifth in National League Cy Young voting thanks to a 2.70 ERA and 204 strikeouts in 33 starts.
