Even after swooping in at the last minute to steal Bo Bichette from the Phillies, then trading for Luis Robert Jr., the Mets still had a glaring hole for 2026. With yet more activity on Wednesday, they addressed it in a big way.
They traded for ace Freddy Peralta, sending prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to the Brewers for Peralta and Tobias Myers. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was first to report those first three players’ involvement in the trade, which is already official, as announced by the Mets.
To describe the Mets’ offseason as busy is an understatement, and this is a continuation.
