US EditionFreddy Peralta Says He Wants Long Term Deal with Mets After Strong Start
Peralta, a two-time All-Star, wants a seven- to eight-year deal for long-term stability with the Mets after a 17-6 record and 2.70 ERA last season, sources said.
- Earlier this year, Freddy Peralta, 28-year-old right-handed pitcher, said he is reportedly seeking a seven- or eight-year extension with the New York Mets, adding, 'I would like to sign a long-term deal.'
- On January 21, the New York Mets acquired Freddy Peralta from the Milwaukee Brewers in a blockbuster trade and he made a strong spring debut with three scoreless innings on February 27.
- On the mound, Freddy Peralta recorded 200-plus strikeouts in three straight seasons, fired three scoreless innings with three strikeouts on February 27, and is making $8 million this season.
- Peralta will be a free agent after this season, and his remarks suggest in the near future the Mets might negotiate a long-term deal despite their $364 million payroll.
- Analysts note that a long-term deal for Peralta could lock him in as a rotation cornerstone, but they warn such contracts carry risks, citing Dylan Cease’s seven-year $210 million pact.
