Mets Acquire Freddy Peralta, Manager Mendoza Praises 'Front-of-Rotation' Arm

The New York Mets acquired Freddy Peralta from the Brewers last week in a trade that sent prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to Milwaukee. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praised Peralta as a "front of the rotation" arm and highlighted his character, noting that Peralta plans to report early to Port St. Lucie to meet his new teammates. This acquisition provides the Mets with the top-of-the-rotation arm they had been seeking this offseason.
