Mets Trade Peterson Signals Big Sell-Off | New York Mets News

The Mets just pulled the trigger on their first big trade of the season, sending David Peterson to the Cubs for a minor league infielder — a clear signal they’re diving headfirst into a full-blown sell-off before the deadline. Peterson, once a promising rookie and All-Star, has struggled with inconsistency and injuries, especially this season, making his departure both inevitable and painful for fans. His exit marks a turning point for the franchise — Lindor is now the longest-tenured Met, and the last holdover from the Wilpon era. With pitching woes mounting and Peterson’s contract year performance lacking, the Mets made sense of a tough decision: trade now, rather than risk further decline. This isn’t just a roster move — it’s the start of a new chapter for the Mets, one that’s likely to get even more dramatic before the deadline.
