Mets land Brewers ace Freddy Peralta in another blockbuster deal during busy offseason: reports

Fox News correspondent Madison Scarpino reports on the latest sports scandal, this time involving Major League Baseball on 'Fox Report.'

It’s been a busy week for the New York Mets, and it continued on Wednesday as they reportedly agreed to a trade to land Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta, giving them a much-needed upgrade in the starting rotation.

It took two of the Mets’ top five prospects to get the deal done, as ESPN reported infielder Jett Williams (No. 3, per MLB Pipeline) and right-handed pitcher Brandon Sproat are heading to Milwaukee in the deal.

The Brewers are also sending right-hander Tobias Myers in the deal.

Peralta’s trade to the Mets marks yet another big move for New York’s GM David Stearns, who introduced Bo Bichette on Wednesday. Stearns also facilitated a trade to acquire Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on Tuesday night.

It’s been quite the offseason for the Mets, a team that fell short of postseason expectations last season despite having the second-highest payroll in baseball.

Peralta should head to Flushing as the team’s ace to enter the 2026 season, with the Mets’ top prospect, Nolan McLean, figuring to be a top-line starter this year.

The Mets also have David Peterson, Clay Holmes, Kodai Senga, and Sean Manaea as rotation options this year.
