Freddy Peralta

Scout’s note

Freddy Peralta is a 30-year-old right-hander from Moca, Dominican Republic, in his ninth big-league season with Tampa Bay. He's struck out 1,282 men in 237 career games, and over his last 14 days at the MLB level he fanned 8 in 2 appearances — still the swing-and-miss pitcher he's always been.

Regime flagged: the sheet's out-year codes read arbitration and 7.090 reads free_agency. Kept the sheet's; Super Two and optional assignments move this line and the service boundary cannot see them.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Tampa Bay Rays.

A second set of books

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of August 27, 2026. We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
