Mets expected to trade Freddy Peralta at deadline amid struggles

Summary

The New York Mets, facing a disappointing season marred by injuries and inconsistent play, are reportedly gearing up to trade pitcher Freddy Peralta before the upcoming trade deadline. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed concern over the team's performance, stating the urgency for improvement. Peralta, a two-time All-Star, is in the final year of a $15 million contract and is seen as an expendable asset due to the Mets' current trajectory. With strong postseason experience, Peralta could attract significant interest from playoff contenders. MLB insiders anticipate he may seek a lucrative contract similar to that of Max Fried if acquired.
