MLB Trade Rumors: One NL Contender Already Eyeing Mets Ace Freddy Peralta
The Mets could also seek an extension before moving Peralta, who will be a free agent after the season.
- According to 670 The Score, the Chicago Cubs have held trade discussions with the New York Mets regarding pitching, though they have not yet specifically negotiated for RHP Freddy Peralta.
- New York sits at the bottom of the National League East with a 14-23 record, making Peralta an obvious trade candidate before the August 3 deadline as he enters free agency.
- Chicago manager Craig Counsell, who previously managed Peralta with the Milwaukee Brewers, seeks rotation help after injuries to Justin Steele and Lefty Matthew Boyd depleted the Cubs' pitching depth.
- Atop the National League Central at 26-12, the Cubs have won nine straight games and possess enough rotation depth to avoid making an imminent trade move.
- The Mets are targeting June 1 to determine if they can return to the race or must pivot to selling, potentially deciding Peralta's fate before the trade deadline.
