Mets Trade Peterson for Prospect Mathis

The Mets, reeling from a losing streak and fading playoff hopes, shipped struggling lefty David Peterson to the Cubs for promising prospect Cole Mathis. Peterson, whose six-oh-nine ERA hasn’t reflected his ground-ball tendencies, fills a critical rotation void for the injury-riddled Cubs. In return, the Mets snagged a 21-year-old, second-round pick who’s crushing it in the minors with power and versatility at first, third, or DH. It’s a move that signals the Mets’ rebuild is in full swing — and Mathis could be the next big thing. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
