Freddy Peralta trade rumors persist ahead of deadline

Entities: Los Angeles Dodgers · Marcus Semien · Freddy Peralta · Tyrone Taylor · Milwaukee Brewers

Overview

Trade speculation around right‑hander Freddy Peralta continues as the August 3 deadline nears. The Chicago Cubs remain the frontrunner, with New York reportedly preparing a return that could include top prospect Andrew Fischer and other assets.

Peralta’s latest outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers reinforced the urgency. He allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks in four innings, striking out three and throwing 93 pitches. After the game he told reporters, “I know it probably is,” referring to the likelihood that the start was his final appearance for the Mets before a potential deal. He added that he “has let them down.”

The Mets, already out of playoff contention, sit at a 5‑9 record with Peralta 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. Acquired from Milwaukee in the offseason, Peralta is approaching free agency and is expected to be among the players the club considers moving before the deadline.

The Cubs’ sustained interest keeps the trade conversation active across the league.
