Mets' Freddy Peralta could be traded to Cubs amid pitching needs

Freddy Peralta of the New York Mets may be headed to the Chicago Cubs as both teams address pitching needs. Peralta has a past connection with Cubs manager Craig Counsell, previously managing him with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs, currently 37-35, are in pursuit of starting pitchers due to injuries, while the Mets stand at 32-39. Peralta's impending free agency at season's end adds complexity to any potential trade discussions. MLB insider Jon Heyman has suggested this move aligns well with both sides.
