Brewers' Freddy Peralta Named Sole 2025 All-Star Representative

Freddy Peralta has been selected to represent the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game for the second time in his career, reflecting his standout season with a 2.91 ERA and leading the National League with nine wins. His improved change-up, developed during spring training, has been credited for elevating his performance, making him the Brewers' sole All-Star this year. The Brewers currently hold a 50-40 record, placing second in the NL Central and securing the second Wild Card spot, with hopes bolstered by Brandon Woodruff's recent return from injury. Despite the team's competitive position, speculation surrounds Peralta's future, with some analysts suggesting the Brewers might trade him before the 2026 season to leverage his high market value, possibly to contenders like the New York Mets. Peralta, however, has expressed appreciation for his teammates' support, emphasizing their role in his success. The upcoming All-Star Game on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta will feature Peralta, who is slated to start against the Dodgers, with the Brewers managing his workload carefully amid their strong pitching depth.
