The\u00a0New York Mets<\/a>\u00a0have\u00a0faltered somewhat\u00a0in the second\u00a0half of the MLB\u00a0season, posting\u00a0a 21-29 record\u00a0after the All-Star break. While\u00a0the team might\u00a0still make the\u00a0playoffs, pitching\u00a0has been a significant\u00a0issue, and there\u00a0is already speculation\u00a0about a major\u00a0move this winter.<\/p>\n

Robert Murray of\u00a0Fansided<\/a>\u00a0analyzed Freddy Peralta\u2019s situation with the\u00a0Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>, noting that the front office\u2019s history suggests the All-Star pitcher could be traded this summer. If Milwaukee is willing to move Peralta, Murray thinks the Mets are a team to watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at the New York Mets, who have former Brewers executive David Stearns running the front office. They have a massive need for another arm, especially a difference-maker. You have to imagine they\u2019d check in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peralta will turn 30 next June, putting him on track for MLB free agency in the winter of 2026 ahead of his age-31 season. Jon Heyman of the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>\u00a0reported in June that Peralta sought a long-term extension to stay in Milwaukee beyond next year, but those efforts were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

Given the rising salaries for the\u00a0highest-paid MLB players<\/a>, especially front-line starters, Peralta\u2019s next contract could be in the $25+ million per season range. Since this will be his first major payday, there is little incentive for him to accept a discount, and his age suggests he will want one more long-term deal.<\/p>\n

If Milwaukee isn\u2019t\u00a0willing to make\u00a0Peralta one of\u00a0the highest-paid\u00a0pitchers in baseball, the organization\u2019s\u00a0history of trading\u00a0players before\u00a0they reach free\u00a0agency suggests\u00a0that trend could\u00a0continue with\u00a0Peralta. If that\u00a0proves to be\u00a0the case, David\u00a0Stearns\u2019 history\u00a0makes for an\u00a0obvious connection. New York also\u00a0boasts several\u00a0quality pitching\u00a0prospects, which, given Milwaukee\u2019s track record, could quickly\u00a0be developed\u00a0into impact starters\u00a0in the Brewers\u2019 rotation before\u00a0long.<\/p>\n
