Mets Open to Trading David Peterson
New York Mets left-hander David Peterson is generating interest in a "pretty active" trade market this offseason, and the Mets are open to moving the 2025 All-Star if they can find the right fit in a need-for-need type of trade, league sources told Tim Britton and Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Mets are in the market for an outfielder to replace Brandon Nimmo, who was traded to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Marcus Semien. They are also looking for a first baseman, designated hitter, and relief help. New York has a high asking price for Peterson, who has an affordable salary next season after two strong seasons. The 30-year-old southpaw might have struggled down the stretch in 2025, but he was the Mets' most reliable starter for the majority of the year, and he's posted a 3.67 ERA in 51 starts since coming back from hip surgery after the 2023 season. Peterson is entering his final season of team control and is projected to make $7.6 million in salary arbitration.
