Mets Pull Peralta From Start as Trade Buzz Intensifies

TL;DR
With trade chatter heating up, the Mets scratched right-hander Freddy Peralta from his start as they pursue a Top 100 prospect in any deal. Peralta has a 4.99 ERA in 2026 despite a strong Milwaukee track record, and several clubs including the Padres, Diamondbacks, Cubs, Brewers, Phillies, Rays and possibly the Braves have been tied to him. The Mets could also consider a qualifying offer or extension, but appear focused on trading him and other impending free agents for prospects before the deadline.
