Following Griffin Canning’s season-ending injury, the New York Mets need to find another starting pitcher to round out their rotation. With Canning on the sideline, the Mets will likely be compelled to trade for another ace to partner with Kodai Senga at the top of the rotation. CBS Sports’ R.J. Anderson recently mentioned the Mets as a possible destination in a blockbuster trade for Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta. “While conventional wisdom suggests Peralta, the best starter on a playoff-caliber team, should remain in place, I think there’s reason to include him, if only just in case,” Anderson stated in an email.
This is the type of trade suggestion that might benefit both clubs involved. The Brewers have shown a willingness to move their top players as their contracts expire. This may continue with Peralta. Peralta would be an excellent addition to the Mets’ rotation. They have the prospect capital to close a deal and the funds to re-sign him when his contract ends.
