The Mets and Yankees have checked on Freddy Peralta, with the growing belief the Brewers will trade their ace.
Peralta’s puny $8M salary makes him attractive to anyone, including small-market teams, but other teams linked to him thus far include the Dodgers, Giants and Braves.

The Orioles, Mets and Giants are teams known to have met with free agent star Framber Valdez.
