Rotoworld Player News

Freddy Peralta

MIL Starting Pitcher #51

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

WEEI’s Rob Bradford reports that the “Red Sox are getting aggressive in pursuing top-level starting pitching in the trade market.”

This jives with recent reporting from The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, who suggested that the Red Sox could double down on pitching upgrades after losing out on Alex Bregman. We already know that the Red Sox have been linked to Freddy Peralta, Joe Ryan, and Cole Ragans since the offseason began. Bradford says that the names “floated as targets are no doubt” top-of-the-rotation arms. We’ll see if this amounts to anything.
Dasan Brown

MIL Center Fielder #87

Brewers signed OF Dasan Brown to a minor league contract.

Brown, 24, was a third-round selection by the Blue Jays from the 2019 draft class and spent his first seven years in the minors in their organization. In 2025, Brown slashed a miserable .174/.285/.260 with four homers, 15 RBI, 36 stolen bases and an 86/34 K/BB ratio over 291 plate appearances. We’ll see if a change of scenery can get his career back on track.
Garrett Mitchell

MIL Center Fielder #5

Brewers agreed to terms with OF Garrett Mitchell on a one-year, $950,000 contract.

Mitchell was eligible for arbitration for the first time despite being limited to 443 major league plate appearances to date. Just 78 of those came last season, as he opened up with a strained oblique and then injured his shoulder after returning, necessitating shoulder surgery. The Brewers can’t have much idea what they’ll get out of him at this point, but since they traded Isaac Collins and they don’t seem overly eager to bring in outfielders, an opportunity should be there for him if he can stay healthy. He’s hit .254/.333/.433 thus far in his career and racked up 3.3 fWAR in less than one full season of playing time.
Trevor Megill

MIL Relief Pitcher #29

Brewers agreed to terms with RHP Trevor Megill on a one-year, $4.7 million contract.

Megill gets a $2.76 million raise after saving 30 games in his second year of arbitration. The Brewers have weighed trading him, since they have a brilliant alternative in Abner Uribe, but it would take a significant offer, as he’s still two years away from free agency.
Angel Zerpa

MIL Relief Pitcher #61

Brewers agreed to terms with LHP Angel Zerpa on a one-year, $1.095 million contract.

Zerpa is in his first year of arbitration after posting a 4.18 ERA in 64 2/3 innings for the Royals last season. The Brewers are considering making him a starter after acquiring him for Isaac Collins and Nick Mears, but given that they already have a bunch of quality rotation candidates, it seems likely that he’ll stick in the pen and battle for a setup gig.
Andrew Vaughn

MIL 1st Baseman #28

Brewers agreed to terms with 1B Andrew Vaughn on a one-year, $7.65 million contract.

Vaughn was a slam-dunk non-tender when his White Sox career ended last summer, but then he went on to hit .308/.375/.493 with nine homers in 64 games with the Brewers. He’ll probably open up as the team’s everyday first baseman in his next-to-last year before free agency.
Brice Turang

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brewers agreed to terms with 2B Brice Turang on a one-year, $4.15 million contract.

Turang is a Super Two player, so this is the first of four seasons of arbitration for him, assuming he’s not locked up on a long-term deal at some point. He hit .288/.359/.435 during an exceptional 2025 season, and he’s likely to be Team USA’s starting second baseman in the WBC.
Frank Cairone

MIL Starting Pitcher

Frank Cairone remains hospitalized following a car accident Saturday, but the Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold reported Monday that “he’s progressing positively.”

The New York Post was told by the Franklin Township Chief of Police that charges will be pressed against the driver who ran a stop sign and collided head on with Cairone and his girlfriend, who is also recovering from injuries. The 18-year-old Cairone was the Brewers’ second-round pick in 2025. He’s yet to make his professional debut since being drafted out of a New Jersey high school.
Daniel Vogelbach

MIL Coach #20

Brewers hired Daniel Vogelbach as one of their hitting coaches.

Vogelbach will not be the lead hitting coach in Milwaukee, but a member of the staff after spending last season as a special assistant with the Pittsburgh Pirates. There are many stories of Vogelbach mentoring younger hitters while he was playing, in particular, his extra work with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in Toronto back in 2024, so he could be in for a solid future as a coach.
Freddy Peralta

MIL Starting Pitcher #51

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports that “both New York clubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and Boston Red Sox are among the teams showing interest” in Freddy Peralta.

Peralta is only set to make $8 million next season, so the Brewers are in no rush to move him; however, they seem unlikely to re-sign him in free agency after next season, so perhaps the best move is to trade him now for peak value. As Rosenthal notes, “Any team that acquires Peralta can recoup one prospect by making him a qualifying offer and receiving a likely Competitive Balance Round A pick in the low 30s in 2027.” Peralta will be a name to watch over the next few weeks.
