Mets prepare potential Freddy Peralta trade while seeking replacement

The New York Mets may trade Freddy Peralta ahead of the deadline, seeking a return before he becomes a free agent. General manager David Stearns is reportedly considering this move due to Peralta's uncertain future with the team. ESPN's Jeff Passan indicates that the Mets might target Jose Soriano as a potential replacement. Soriano, 27, is a free agent after the 2029 season and has shown promise, despite recent struggles. The Mets aim to address both the potential trade and fill the rotation void ahead of the deadline.
