"The New York Mets have acquired All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Wednesday night. Top prospects Jett Williams, an infielder, and Brandon Sproat, a right-handed pitcher, are headed to Milwaukee, sources said. Speaking earlier Wednesday, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns strongly hinted that the Mets, one of baseball's busiest teams this offseason, weren't done."
""That remains my preference," Stearns said of adding a pitcher to the rotation. "It doesn't mean it's a certainty that we're going to do it, but, yes, that would be my preference." New York went out and did it, adding Peralta, who's owed just $8 million in 2026 coming off his second All-Star season before reaching free agency next winter."
The New York Mets acquired All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta from the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade that sends top prospects Jett Williams, an infielder, and Brandon Sproat, a right-handed pitcher, to Milwaukee. Peralta is coming off his second All-Star season and is under contract for $8 million in 2026, with free agency looming after the upcoming season. The addition bolsters the Mets' starting rotation amid an active offseason push for pitching help. The trade pairs major-league pitching depth and team control considerations with a prospect cost paid to the Brewers.
