Freddy Peralta Joins Mets, Expected to Anchor Rotation After Stellar 2025

Freddy Peralta, 29, has joined the New York Mets and is expected to be the ace their rotation lacked last season. In 2025 with the Brewers, he posted a 2.70 ERA over 33 starts and 176.2 innings, earning his second All-Star nod and finishing fifth in NL Cy Young voting. His addition aims to stabilize the rotation and provide support for younger pitchers and veterans like Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga.
