Not sure if there's any actual talk, but I've read brave fans saying peraza for Aaron judge of Yankees. I do know the Yankees scouted peraza a few weeks back
You don't trade anybody just to clear room until you actually need to clear room. So most of it will work out. Peterson has been moved to LF, and it's unlikely Peterson, Peraza, and Ruiz all develop into definite major league regulars.

I would not trade Peraza, though, and certainly not for Judge. I still see Peterson as more of a super utility guy than an everyday star. I would plan on Peraza being my everyday 2B and Peterson playing 3B until someone else is ready, then move him into that Prado role where he plays a lot all over the diamond.
