The Toronto Blue Jays may consider trades to bolster their starting rotation due to injuries. However, FanSided’s Chris Landers describes the Blue Jays as a "nightmare" landing spot for Mets’ pitcher Freddy Peralta. Peralta has struggled to pitch deep into games, which complicates his fit with the Blue Jays' bullpen. Despite this, Peralta is seen as a valuable trade target, having recorded over 200 strikeouts in the past three seasons and finishing fifth in last year’s NL Cy Young voting. The Blue Jays would benefit from evaluating this trade possibility.

- •Peralta has over 200 strikeouts in each of the last three seasons.
- •The Mets may be open to trading Peralta at the deadline.
