The Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly in discussions to acquire Freddy Peralta from the New York Mets as they seek to strengthen their pitching rotation. Currently facing injury issues with multiple starters, the Blue Jays are also considering Tarik Skubal should the Detroit Tigers trade him. Peralta, a former Cy Young finalist, is on a $15 million contract expiring at season's end, making him an attractive option for Toronto's playoff push. Meanwhile, the Mets sit at 29-37 and may look to make significant roster changes as they navigate a disappointing season.
