Freddy Peralta Likely to Be Traded by Struggling New York Mets

Freddy Peralta New York Mets trade deadline 2026 season August 3 deadline

The New York Mets are 18 games below .500 with eight days remaining before the August 3 trade‑deadline. Pitcher Freddy Peralta, acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers in January for prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat, has struggled this season, posting a 5‑9 record and a 4.99 ERA over 22 starts. He has not recorded a quality start since June 3 and his ERA since then has risen to 7.34.

On July 26, Peralta allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks in four innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers, using 93 pitches. He described the outing as possibly his final start for New York, acknowledging that a trade before the deadline is probable. Peralta could become a free agent after the season if not dealt.

After his short start, the Mets’ bullpen delivered five scoreless innings to secure an 8‑3 win, highlighting the team’s reliance on relief pitching as it looks to reshape the roster before the deadline.
