  "account": "The San Diego Padres are expected to sign Rays pitcher Freddy Peralta to a multi-year free agent deal, according to prediction from Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley. Peralta, who previously played for the New York Mets, has posted a 3.60 ERA over 50 innings with the Rays since being acquired at the deadline. His recent performance has caught the attention of teams, making him a potentially valuable signing for the Padres. The Padres are expected to need to bolster their starting rotation in the offseason, as their current rotation will be in good shape until the end of the 2026 season.",
