Peralta Tests PitchCalls as Mets Pivot Toward Trade Value

Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta, a top trade chip, tried calling some of his own pitches with PitchCom for the first time this season in a 4 2/3-inning start against Atlanta. Despite a subpar overall line, he leaned on a broader mix (including a season-high number of sweepers) and averaged 95.1 mph on his fastball, signaling improved form that could boost his value ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline. With an $8 million salary and a strong track record, Peralta remains attractive to contenders (Cubs, Padres, Blue Jays, Rays, among others) as New York looks to sellers amid a difficult season.

Mets Bet on Peralta’s acclimation as Benge eyes a spring path

Freddy Peralta has joined the Mets with extension talks likely taking a back seat while he acclimates, and the club remains hopeful but private on a future deal; Carson Benge is still in the mix for a spring roster spot at left field amid ongoing roster reshuffling, while Kodai Senga is expected to be in the rotation. If healthy, the Mets could run a six-man rotation (Peralta, Senga, Manaea, Peterson, Holmes, McLean) and lean on defensive depth with Soto in right, Robert in center, and Taylor in left as Benge develops.

Mets pair up with Brewers for Freddy Peralta to stabilize rotation

The New York Mets acquired ace Freddy Peralta and right-hander Tobias Myers from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for pitching prospect Brandon Sproat and minor leaguer Jett Williams.
