Freddy Peralta Acknowledges Mets Struggles, Anticipates Trade

Freddy Peralta expressed his awareness of falling short of expectations with the last-place New York Mets, conceding that a trade is likely in his near future. The team's struggles this season, which have left them well out of playoff contention, are prompting the front office to consider moving assets before the August 3rd deadline. Peralta, a starting pitcher, is among those widely expected to be dealt to a team vying for a postseason berth.

In his most recent outing on Sunday, Peralta faced the Los Angeles Dodgers. He allowed three runs, two of which were earned, on six hits over four innings of work, throwing 93 pitches. Despite his efforts on the mound, the Mets ultimately secured an 8-3 victory, powered by three-run homers from Tyrone Taylor and Marcus Semien.
