It’s not a secret that the 2026 season for the New York Mets<\/a> has been a complete and total disaster. While things aren’t going well, the Mets are trending towards selling at the MLB trade deadline.<\/p>\n

If such a scenario comes to pass, there’s sure to be a lot of attention on Freddy Peralta<\/a>, the Mets ace who is a free agent after the 2026 season. While he’s an obvious trade candidate, what could the Mets get in return for him in a trade?<\/p>\n

According to Robert Murray of Fansided.com<\/a>, the Mets got an interesting series of projected returns from a pair of MLB executives for Peralta. Both are solid packages, with one being clearly better than the other.<\/p>\n

Mets get projected trade value for Freddy Peralta by MLB execs<\/p>\n

“Either 1. A backend top-100 and a. throw in, or 2. Two top-10 org prospects,” one MLB executive answered.<\/p>\n

Another MLB executive said, “First off, I’d say he’s going to have more suitors than Tarik Skubal<\/a> because of his prorated $8 million salary compared to Skubal at $32 million… I think at least one top-50 prospect and more likely two top-100s.<\/p>\n

Both of these predicted trade values for Peralta, the two-time All-Star ace on an $8 million contract set to hit free agency after 2026, are solid return options for the Mets.<\/p>\n

Being able to bring in at least a top-100 prospect if they trade Peralta seems likely based on these predictions. That is some good news for the Mets.<\/p>\n

The second executive, noting that Peralta might have more trade suitors than the Detroit Tigers<\/a> could for Tarik Skubal, is the much more tantalizing prediction for the Mets.<\/p>\n

Having the top starting pitcher available on the trade market is a recipe for success and a very strong return. Teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>, Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>, Tampa Bay Rays<\/a>, San Diego Padres<\/a>, and many others are sure to have interest.<\/p>\n

With both of these MLB executives predicting returns to include a top-100 prospect, or the equivalent of such a valuable prospect, it is something to get excited about.<\/p>\n

Trading Peralta is less than ideal for the Mets. But, since it’s trending towards the right-hander being on the move this season, the Mets might as well try for the best return possible, which, at this rate, might be a little more than a top-100 prospect.<\/p>\n
