Mets Trade Bust? Peralta's Rays Surge to $100M Deal?
7 Oct
Summary
- Mets acquired pitcher Freddy Peralta in offseason, traded him by deadline.
- Peralta has excelled with Rays, allowing four runs in last 38.2 innings.
- He could sign a contract worth over $100 million this offseason.
The New York Mets' offseason acquisition of pitcher Freddy Peralta turned into a mid-season trade. After acquiring him from the Milwaukee Brewers, the Mets dealt Peralta to the Tampa Bay Rays by the trade deadline as their own season faltered.
Peralta, who had been consistently solid with the Brewers, experienced a slump with the Mets. However, he has since rediscovered his form with the Rays, playing a significant role in their postseason push. His recent performance includes allowing only four runs over his last 38.2 innings pitched.
This strong showing with Tampa Bay has revitalized Peralta's market value. While some may view his struggles with the Mets as a concern, others see it as a temporary blip. The right-handed pitcher is now on the cusp of securing a substantial contract, with potential offers exceeding $100 million.
