The New York Mets are evaluating options for Freddy Peralta as the MLB trade deadline approaches on August 3. After a disappointing season, the Mets made significant changes by firing manager Carlos Mendoza and trading pitcher David Peterson. ESPN's David Schoenfield suggests trading Peralta, who is set to become a free agent, would be a wise move. Peralta's recent performances have contributed to a rising ERA of 4.81, prompting considerations for his future with the team. If the Mets proceed with a trade, they may attract interest from several clubs seeking starting pitching help.
- •Mets underperformed in 2026, now among the worst teams in MLB.
- •Carlos Mendoza was fired recently after the team's struggles.
- •Freddy Peralta's ERA increased to 4.81 after poor starts.
- •Trading Peralta could yield value before he hits free agency.
- •Chicago Cubs and White Sox are potential trade partners.
