We've entered the point in the offseason where it's all but a foregone conclusion that if the New York Yankees are going to make a big splash, it's going to come via trade. Front and center in those negotiations is Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta.
The links between Peralta and the Yankees have been present all offseason, and allegedly talks are heating up. Of course, Peralta is a superb pitcher and a true front-of-the-rotation arm, so the competition is fierce.
Trade prices for starting pitchers have been astronomical this offseason. The Baltimore Orioles didn't help anyone with the enormous haul they sent to the Tampa Bay Rays for Shane Baz, and they aren't alone.
