Mets All-Star David Peterson Generating Trade Interest

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson, a 2025 All-Star, is reportedly generating trade interest as a potential 'need-for-need' candidate. The 30-year-old has shown inconsistency, posting a 2.90 ERA in 2024 and a 2.92 ERA in five postseason appearances that year, contrasting with ERAs of 5.54 in 2021 and 5.03 in 2023. Currently in his final year of arbitration, Peterson earned $4.6 million last season. The Mets are looking to add starting pitching, suggesting a trade would aim to fill another roster need.
