Mets Trade Peralta for Mayfield | New York Mets News

The Mets, reeling at 42-58, are trading away almost anyone but Juan Soto—especially pitcher Freddy Peralta, whose 4.66 ERA makes him a tempting, low-cost upgrade for playoff contenders. With free agency looming, teams like the Padres, Cubs, Braves, and Brewers are circling, eyeing Peralta’s upside and the Mets’ willingness to move him. In return, the Mets could land top prospect Kash Mayfield—a 21-year-old rising star in High-A. The Padres’ playoff push could make this deal happen, but if they fade, Peralta’s value drops. And yes—he’ll face his old team, the Brewers, on Monday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
