Blue Jays interested in Mets’ Freddy Peralta ahead of trade deadline

The Toronto Blue Jays are exploring a trade for Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta, according to reports. Peralta, facing challenges this season with a drop in fastball velocity and overall performance, is thought to be on the move as the trade deadline approaches. Despite struggling with the Mets, he could prove valuable to a contender like the Blue Jays, who aim for a postseason run. Peralta is a free agent at season's end, which adds urgency for the Blue Jays to act if they see potential in him.
