Mets Trade Peralta for Three Prospects | New York Mets News

Mets pull off a bold move, sending struggling pitcher Freddy Peralta to the Rays in exchange for three promising prospects—outfielder Aidan Smith, infielder Émilien Pitre, and righty Gary Gill Hill. With Peralta’s ERA hovering near 5.00 and no long-term deal in sight, the trade makes sense as the Mets pivot toward rebuilding their farm system. The deal echoes their January swap that brought Peralta to New York, now offsetting him with young talent. Tampa, meanwhile, gets a proven arm to bolster their rotation while continuing their pitcher-development tradition. It’s a clear sign the Mets are embracing the long game—sacrificing present performance for future upside. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
