TRADE CHIPS: Giants INTERESTED in Freddy Peralta | Miguel Andujar or Adam Frazier low RISK fits

The Giants may finally be circling something real. Jon Heyman reports San Francisco is among the teams checking in on Brewers ace Freddy Peralta, a controllable frontline starter with a manageable salary that fits just about everyone — including the Giants. We break down what Peralta would actually cost, why Milwaukee might move him, and whether this signals a shift from patience to action. Plus, the Cody Bellinger standoff drags on as the Yankees wait and luxury tax penalties loom, forcing the market into another staring contest. We also dive into the Giants operating deep in free agency, potential fits like Miguel Andújar, Starling Marte, and Adam Frazier, and the uncomfortable question hanging over everything: are the Giants quietly treating 2026 as a gap year? The signals are mixed — but they’re getting louder.
