The Milwaukee Brewers have confirmed the return of ace pitcher Freddy Peralta by exercising his $8 million option for the 2025 season. Peralta, who recorded an 11-9 record with a 3.68 ERA in the previous season, has been a key player for the team throughout his seven-year career.
With the Brewers facing uncertainty in their rotation, particularly after declining Wade Miley's option and placing Colin Rea on waivers, retaining Peralta is a strategic move. The team also contends with the potential loss of shortstop Willy Adames to free agency and the recovery of Christian Yelich from surgery.
