Rays Express Trade Interest in Mets' Freddy Peralta

Mets starting pitcher Freddy Peralta is drawing trade interest from the Tampa Bay Rays ahead of the August 3 deadline. The right-hander has struggled through 22 starts this season, posting a 4.99 ERA, which would mark the highest of his nine-year career as a starter. As the Mets evaluate their roster options, Peralta is considered a likely candidate to be moved.
