The Mets are engaging in trade discussions centered on Freddy Peralta, whose season and looming free agency have made him a high-profile rental. Executives are weighing whether a deal can net MLB-ready, controllable pitching for 2027 or pivot toward bullpen depth, with teams like the Dodgers cited as potential partners. Peralta’s 4.99 ERA this season tempers his value, and he has signaled the likelihood of leaving New York. The broader Mets market is expected to include multiple departures as they shift toward talent for 2027 rather than purely prospects. Other league notes: the Pirates are eyeing Camilo Doval from the Yankees; the Blue Jays’ struggles have the Yankees considering George Springer in a cross-division swap. Corbin Perdomo of the Diamondbacks provided a spark in a loss, underscoring varied fortunes near the deadline.
