Mets consider trading Freddy Peralta amid potential ace market shift

The New York Mets are contemplating a trade for pitcher Freddy Peralta as they navigate a competitive market ahead of the trade deadline. The Detroit Tigers are likely to become sellers, which could shift interest toward other pitchers, such as Casey Mize, who is seen as a more budget-friendly option for teams looking for starting pitching. Mize's strong performance this year adds to the urgency for the Mets, who may miss out on maximizing Peralta's trade value if they wait too long. The Mets reportedly seek a significant return if they part ways with Peralta, but increased interest in cheaper options could impact their negotiations.
