The New York Mets have had a rough season through the first week of May. And if things don't get better soon, they could be looking at a fire sale at the trade deadline.
While the Mets want to avoid such a scenario at any cost, they might be forced into such a terrible spot if things don't change for the better.
Former MLB general manager Jim Bowden, for The Athletic, shared his starting pitcher trade candidates, and named Freddy Peralta, who the Mets just got from the Milwaukee Brewers this past offseason, as one candidate.
"After eight seasons with the Brewers, Peralta, 29, was traded to the Mets this offseason in a deal that was supposed to put New York in a position to contend for a World Series title," Bowden writes. Nothing has gone according to plan thus far, though Peralta hasn't been the reason for the team's poor start."
While the Mets might not want to trade Peralta, with things going as badly as they are, and plenty of uncertainty about signing Peralta to a long-term deal, the Mets should very seriously consider trading him if things continue to go south this year.
