Rays Risk Big to Get Peralta | MLB News

The Tampa Bay Rays just pulled off a bold move, trading three prospects for Freddy Peralta, a pitcher whose recent struggles haven’t dimmed their faith in his potential. With Shane McClanahan sidelined and the bullpen in need, the Rays see Peralta’s proven track record and clutch pedigree as the key to playoff contention. Despite a rough 2024 season, they’re betting on their coaching staff to unlock his 2025 form — and he’ll face a brutal test right away at Coors Field. This isn’t just a trade; it’s a statement: Tampa’s all-in for October. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
