MLB Trade Rumors: David Peralta Made Available by Diamondbacks, per Execs

Timothy RappJun 7, 2021

The Arizona Diamondbacks have stumbled to a 20-41 start this season, and a firesale could be on the horizon. 

According to Robert Murray of Fansided, "rival executives say that outfielder David Peralta is among the players the Diamondbacks have already made available."

Murray added that Ketel Marte, Asdrubal Cabrera and Eduardo Escobar are also potential trade chips for the cellar-dweller Diamondbacks.

Peralta, 33, is hitting .245 this season with four homers, 30 RBI and 25 runs. While he's never been able to replicate his 2018 Silver Slugger campaign (30 homers, 87 RBI)—in fact, he's never hit 20 or more home runs in a season outside of that year—he's a solid offensive option who generally hits for a solid average and has a career .342 on-base percentage. 

He's also solid in the field, winning a Gold Glove in 2019. 

He wouldn't be a short-term rental, either, as he's under contract through the 2022 season on a $7.5 million salary. 

It would be a major change of scenery for Peralta were he dealt, however, as he's spent his entire eight-year MLB career with the Diamondbacks. But with Arizona already well out of the postseason picture, barring a stunning turnaround, Peralta's odds of being moved this season are high.
