As deep as the Brewers’ rotation may be, it would suddenly look a lot thinner without Peralta stabilizing things up top.

Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta can't escape trade buzz lately, and an MLB insider just provided a new update.

MLBTR’s team-by-team look at the upcoming deadline continues with the Brewers. Milwaukee is firmly in a playoff spot and should be looking to buy. However, their financial restraints and apparent surplus of starting pitching could allow them to do some selling or some classic "baseball trades."

The Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a three year, $120MM contract this offseason. In reality, it's a series of one year deals at $40MM per year. Bregman has the opportunity to opt out at the end of this season and it's highly likely that he will. That is, unless he signs an extension with the Red Sox. Here's what Bowden wrote:
