Overview
- The Mets acquired Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Brewers for prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat.
- Peralta is owed about $8 million in 2026, his walk year, and he is reportedly open to an extension as David Stearns declined to speculate on talks.
- This flurry followed the three-year, $126 million signing of Bo Bichette with opt-outs and the trade for center fielder Luis Robert Jr., rapidly reshaping the roster.
- According to OptaStats, the Mets are the first team since 1903 to add a top-five finisher in hits (Bichette) and wins (Peralta) in the same offseason.
- With an ace in place, multiple reports project the Mets to explore another dependable starter, with names such as Chris Bassitt floated as possibilities.
