These Players Believe They'll Fit Right in with Brewers After Arriving in Peralta Trade

On Jan. 26, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers traded Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers to the New York Mets for Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat, who spoke to reporters via Zoom on Monday.
The Brewers' front office continues its recent pattern by trading an All-Star pitcher with one year left on his contract, leveraging Milwaukee Brewers' strong pitching-development reputation, Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said.
Peralta's recent performance underscores his value with a 17-6 record, 2.70 ERA, and fifth in Cy Young voting last season, while Jett Williams hit.261 with 17 homers and 34 steals in 130 games last year.
By swapping Peralta for prospects, Milwaukee positioned its roster for the long term by adding two players who could extend his legacy through the 2032 season, though coverage noted Milwaukee 'paid a big price'.
Claiming Marco Estrada off waivers in February 2010 began a trade tree that led to Adam Lind moving to the Brewers and eventually funneled Freddy Peralta into their system.
