After a two-week spell earlier in June when they won 10 of 12 games, including a six-game winning streak, the team that going into the season was widely predicted to win the American League East has reverted to its previous ways, dropping five in a row to conclude a nine-game west coast swing at 3-6.<\/p>\n<p>In the current slump, the Red Sox slid from three games over .500 and four games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East, to two games under .500, 6 1\/2 games out.<\/p>\n<p>The problems have been many and various, of course, but outside of that brief winning streak much of the issue comes down to the starting rotation. Red Sox starters had a 4.29 ERA heading into Wednesday\u2019s game, which turned out to be a 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, which ranked 22nd of MLB\u2019s 30 teams.<\/p>\n<p>Starters, outside of staff ace Garrett Crochet, have had trouble getting through five innings, which has a cascading effect on the bullpen, wearing relief pitchers down due to overwork. Red Sox starters have thrown a total of 431 2\/3 innings, which is not too bad on first glance, at 11th-most in MLB.<\/p>\n<h2>Brewers Starter Named \u2018Best Fit\u2019 For Red Sox in Trade<\/h2>\n<p>But Crochet is responsible for about 25 percent of those innings, with a league-leading 109 1\/3. The 26-year-old lefty averages 6.43 innings per start, while all other Red Sox starters contribute only 4.97.<\/p>\n<p>One Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher who may be available on the trade market could go a long way toward solving that problem. Peralta, like Crochet, has started 17 games, tied for MLB\u2019s best, while putting in 5.47 innings per start. Peralta has also put up a 2.90 ERA while striking out 98 in 93 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps more to the point, according to an analysis by ESPN.com experts Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan, the 29-year-old, eight year Brewers veteran has a 20 percent, or one-in-five, chance of leaving Milwaukee in trade this season.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>ESPN.com<\/em> writers name the Red Sox as a \u201cbest fit\u201d for Peralta.<\/p>\n<h2>Red Sox Could Deal Prospects for Peralta<\/h2>\n<p>With all of that in mind, one Red Sox online account, Soxologist, put together a proposal that could bring Peralta to Boston. In exchange, the Red Sox would send:<\/p>\n<p>Kutter Crawford, a right-handed starter who has not yet pitched in 2025, and is now expected to miss the remainder of the season with wrist surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Jhostynxon Garcia, a 22-year-old power-hitting outfielder and Boston\u2019s No. 5 prospect, according to <em>MLB Pipeline<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>David Sandlin, a righty pitcher who was an 11th-round Kanas City Royals draft pick in 2022. Now at the Red Sox\u2019 Double-A affiliate in Portland, Maine, Sandlin is ranked ninth among all Red Sox prospects, and second among pitchers.<\/p>\n<p>Mikey Romero, a 21-year-old infielder from San Diego, California, who was the Boston\u2019s first-round draft pick, 24th overall, in 2022. Romero, according to SoxProspects.com, is currently the No. 10 ranked prospect in the Red Sox system.<\/p>\n<p>Minor league expert Owen Hurd of <em>Scout the Statline<\/em> evaluated the proposal, and called it \u201csolid \u2026 probably what a potential package looks like in my opinion if (Milwaukee) deals Peralta.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hurd added, however, that the Red Sox could probably hold on to Sandlin and Romero, and deal Crawford and Garcia by themselves to obtain Peralta, whose five-year, $15.5 million contract with the Brewers ends this year.<\/p>\n<p>Peralta, who currently leads the National League in wins with eight, also comes with a club option for 2026 before he hits free agency, so he would be more than a mere \u201crental\u201d for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Vankin JONATHAN VANKIN is an award-winning journalist and writer who now covers baseball and other sports for Heavy.com.
