The New York Mets have made one of the biggest moves of the MLB offseason by trading for All‑Star right‑hander Freddy Peralta from the Milwaukee Brewers. The blockbuster deal also brings right‑hander Tobias Myers to the Mets, while Milwaukee receives two of New York’s top prospects, infielder Jett Williams and pitcher Brandon Sproat.
Peralta, 29, enjoyed a breakout 2025 campaign, finishing with a 17‑6 record and a stellar 2.70 earned run average. He led the National League in wins and was among the top pitchers in Cy Young Award voting, establishing himself as one of the game’s premier starters. The Mets are banking on his elite production to anchor their rotation as they aim for a deep postseason run.
Myers adds depth to the Mets’ pitching staff, bringing major‑league experience and versatility. The Brewers, meanwhile, boost their farm system by acquiring Williams and Sproat, both considered among baseball’s more promising young players.
This high‑impact trade is just the latest in a flurry of bold roster moves by the Mets this offseason. New York has already added All‑Star shortstop Bo Bichette and star outfielder Luis Robert Jr., signaling a clear commitment to contending after narrowly missing the playoffs in 2025.
Peralta is under contract through the 2026 season and will be a key piece for the Mets as they seek to convert offseason momentum into winning baseball in the National League East.
