Cubs Acquire David Peterson from Mets for Prospect Cole Mathis
The Chicago Cubs acquired left-hander David Peterson from the New York Mets in exchange for first-base prospect Cole Mathis, with a 40-man roster spot to be opened. Peterson, in his final arbitration year, has a 6.09 ERA over 68 innings this season and is viewed as rotation depth for a Cubs staff dealing with injuries; Mathis, a 2024 second-rounder, has solid minors numbers but is years away from the majors. The trade was reported by Jeff Passan and Will Sammon as the Mets and Cubs split a four-game series at Citi Field.
