It's a done deal.

The New York Mets have successfully acquired the services of Freddy Peralta. They have completed a deal with the Brewers for the top-tier pitcher, who is one year away from free agency and will earn $8 million in 2026.

Tobias Myers is also leaving for New York.

In return, Milwaukee gets its hands on two top prospects. Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat are the two guys who will be heading to Wisconsin next.

The Brewers have had success in the past trading stars a year away from free agency. For fans, however, seeing a pitcher like that go can't be easy.

Williams (batter) was the Mets' #3 prospect. Sproat (prospect #5) is a pitcher who was part of the Mets' big line of young pitchers, who managed to keep Nolan McLean in place.

Clearly, the Mets needed a #1 pitcher and they got one.

I still consider the Metropolitans, who don't have an ugly offensive lineup, to lack punch and depth in their rotation and bullpen. But Peralta is clearly a big hit.

There's too much uncertainty in the pitching staff. But the talent is there.

In the last week, Bo Bichette, Luis Robert Jr., and Freddy Peralta have been added to the club. The Mets will fight for the playoffs (and they have a chance of making them), but they're not a Nationals powerhouse.

In any case, David Stearns hasn't brought back the same group as last year… for better or worse.

Will it be enough to see the Mets through in a National League East Division that looks more competitive than it was in the 2025 campaign? And to face the Dodgers?
