The New York Mets continued their barrage of talent acquisition, trading for two-time All-Star right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta from the Milwaukee Brewers alongside right-hander Tobias Myers in exchange for two prospects on Wednesday.
Milwaukee received right-hander Brandon Sproat and infielder Jett Williams.
In 2025, Peralta, 29, led the National League in wins while going 17-6. He finished the season with a career-low 2.70 ERA, paired with a 5.5 wins above replacement (WAR), the second-highest mark on the Brewers.
Peralta has appeared in 211 career games (162 starts), logging 70-42 record with a 3.59 ERA. The Brewers finished first in the NL Central in 2025, going a majors-best 97-65.
Peralta debuted in 2018 for Milwaukee, where he has spent his entire eight-season major league career, winning two All-Star selections and finishing fifth in NL Cy Young Award voting in 2025.
He represents the second headline-grabbing move for the Mets in under a week, after New York reached an agreement with free agent shortstop Bo Bichette — also a two-time All-Star — on a three-year, $126 million deal on Friday.
Myers pitched in 22 games (six starts) for the Brewers in 2025, concluding his season with a 1-2 record, a 3.55 ERA and 38 strikeouts 50 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old has 10-8 career mark with a 3.15 ERA and a 3.3 WAR.
Williams, 22, has yet to debut in the majors, having split 2025 between Double-A and Triple-A. He hit a combined .261 with 17 homers, 52 RBIs and 34 stolen bases in 130 games.
Sproat, 25, was promoted to the majors for the first time in September, and went 0-2 with a 4.79 ERA in four games (all starts) for New York. Through 20 2/3 innings, he surrendered 18 hits and 11 runs batted in, with no home runs.
The Mets finished with a 83-79 record in 2025, missing out on the playoffs on the last day of the regular season after leading the NL East by 8 1/2 games in June.
