Mets Unwilling to Meet Brewers Asking Price for Freddy Peralta
So far, the New York Mets have been unwilling to meet the Milwaukee Brewers' asking price for right-hander Freddy Peralta, sources told Michael Marino. The Mets quickly ended a discussion with the Brewers about Peralta when right-hander Jonah Tong's name briefly came up. The Brewers also submitted an offer of right-hander Brandon Sproat and infielder Jett Williams, and the Mets are unwilling to pay that price. Williams is ranked as the team's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, while Tong is No. 4, and Sproat is No. 5. It would be a lot for New York to give up for the 29-year-old Peralta, who could essentially be a one-year rental -- he will be a free agent after the 2026 season. Peralta is considered highly unlikely to reach a contract extension with the Brew Crew, making him one of the most attractive starting pitchers on the trade market this winter.
