If we had told you in 2022 that one of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers would be a member of the 2026 All-Star Game contingent participating this weekend in Philadelphia, we're pretty sure you would have guessed "Jackson Chourio." Maybe "Sal Frelick."
Instead, the all-star in question is Tristan Peters, a player the Brewers sent away in one of the more dubious trades in recent memory.
The native Canadian has enjoyed a breakout 2026 season with the Chicago White Sox, five years after the Brewers selected him out of Southern Illinois in the 2021 draft.
Peters, 26, has a .301 batting average, .832 OPS, six homers, five steals and 36 RBIs in 91 games. Baseball Reference lists him as a 3.0 wins-above-replacement player, which would rank him third on the 2026 Brewers behind Jacob Misiorowski and Brice Turang.
But the Brewers dealt Peters in 2022 for a pitcher who … never actually pitched for the Brewers.
