    Mets Scratch Freddy Peralta Amid Trade Interest

    The New York Mets have scratched starting pitcher Freddy Peralta from his scheduled start against the Miami Marlins, fueling speculation about an impending trade. Peralta, who joined the Mets this offseason, has had a disappointing season with a 5-9 record and a 4.99 ERA. Despite his struggles, several teams have shown interest in acquiring him due to his past performance and affordable contract. The Mets, who are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, are reportedly asking for a top-100 prospect and more in exchange for Peralta. His potential departure comes as the team accepts its fate in the standings, sitting 17.5 games out of first place in the NL East.
