00:00Dodgers pursuing another star player after Tucker signing.
00:05Los Angeles Dodgers are once again behaving like a team with one goal and one goal only.
00:10As if an offseason headlined by bolstering an already elite squad by
00:15adding Tyler Glasnow, Kyle Tucker, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki was
00:20not enough, the Dodgers are reportedly not finished reloading.
00:25According to reports, their sights are now set on Milwaukee Brewers' Ace Freddy Peralta.
00:30If that's true, buckle up.
00:32Peralta offers more than just depth.
00:35Peralta, a 29-year-old right-hander with a razor sharp 2.0 ERA
00:40from last season and a top-five finish in the National League Cy Young voting is hardly a
00:45fifth piece.
00:46He's the kind of pitcher you slot into Game 2 of a playoff series without blowing
00:50blinking.
00:51His track record combines electric stuff with consistency.
00:55And though he's only under contract for one more season, the Dodgers flush with
01:00cash and commitment would almost certainly consider locking him down long term.
01:05Dodgers' rotation carries risk, despite star power.
01:10But why the interest now?
01:12For all their firepower, the Dodgers are walking a tightrope when
01:15it comes to their rotation's health.
01:17Shohei Ohtani is expected to pitch a full season.
01:20He's also coming off elbow surgery, and Los Angeles will no doubt monitor his workload carefully.
01:25Glasnow and Snell both carry their own injury baggage.
01:28Roki Sasaki, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Dodgers,
01:30the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, and the Dodgers.
01:30As brilliant as he may be, is still unproven in Major League Baseball.
01:35The Dodgers, in this case, doesn't mean a middle innings eater.
01:38It means someone who can shoulder real
01:40playoff innings if the stars go dim.
01:43A super team with no apologies.
01:45It's also telling that the Dodgers are willing to part with more prospects, a signal that
01:50they view the Dodgers.
01:50They view 2026 as a now or never year, or at least part of a tightly managed window.
01:55And why wouldn't they?
01:57Add Peralta to this juggernaut and Los Angeles is
02:00not just a favorite.
02:01They become the inevitability.
02:03Of course, this would only
02:05inflamed critics who already see the Dodgers as a baseball superpower unchecked.
02:10Assembling rosters with a cold-blooded efficiency that rivals the greatest dynasties in sports
02:15industry.
02:16But don't expect remorse from Chavez Ravine.
02:20All empires are built with talent, money, and a ruthless eye for opportunity.
