The New York Mets are expected to be active sellers before the August 3 MLB trade deadline, with Freddy Peralta likely on the move. Peralta's trade value has decreased due to a poor season, marked by a 5.01 ERA. While the right-hander showed promise last season with a 2.70 ERA for the Brewers, recent struggles have made it unlikely the Mets will receive significant offers. The Mets previously traded assets to acquire Peralta, but his current performance may limit the return they can expect.
- •Freddy Peralta has struggled with a 6.67 ERA in his last 11 starts.
- •Mets management anticipates lower returns for Peralta than expected.
- •Peralta is on an expiring contract and will enter free agency.
- •The Mets aim to use other players like Luke Weaver for potentially better trades.
- •Offers for Peralta may still come due to his previous strong performances.
