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. Peralta, 29, went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA last season, led the NL in wins and earned his second All-Star nod; he earns $8 million this year and can become a free agent after the World Series. Myers, a 27-year-old, was 9-6 with a 3.00 ERA as a rookie in 2024 and posted a 3.55 ERA in 22 appearances last year. The deal strengthens a Mets rotation that faltered in 2025 and follows recent moves, including adding Bo Bichette and Luis Robert Jr.

Extensions and CBT/payroll implications loom as both clubs head toward spring training.
The Mets and Brewers are in serious talks about trading Freddy Peralta, with Jett Williams and Tobias Myers among the prospective pieces; Milwaukee reportedly has Williams and Brandon Sproat on the table, while New York had previously rebuffed an offer for Jonah Tong.
