Peterson Heads to Cubs in Trade

David Peterson, the Mets’ struggling All-Star pitcher with a brutal ERA, is headed to Chicago in a trade that swaps him for promising young infielder Cole Mathis.

Meanwhile, the Mets’ five-game skid and cellar-dwelling division position make this trade feel like a necessary gamble — and the Cubs, riding a hot streak, just might be the lucky ones.
