New York Mets
· 2026-06-27
The New York Mets are facing pressure to sell after a disappointing season, with a 34-48 record as of June 27, 2026.
The Mets' recent loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on June 26, 2026, with a score of 1-2, has extended their losing streak to 7 games.
National League executives believe the team may start selling soon, with right-hander Freddy Peralta being a key trade target.
Freddy Peralta is a 30-year-old pitcher who joined the New York Mets in January 2026, after spending 8 seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers.
He has a 3.67 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in his 9-year MLB career, making him an attractive trade option.
According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, one executive said, "I would be surprised if that happened," referring to the team's president of baseball operations, David Stearns, starting to sell soon.
The executive added that if the team were to have a full-on sale, Stearns would likely be fired as well.
The Mets' current standing is 13th in the National League, with only a few teams below them in the standings.
The team will face the Toronto Blue Jays for three games starting on June 29, after completing their series against the Phillies.
With their current record and losing streak, the Mets need to turn their season around to avoid being sellers at the trade deadline.
The team's frustration is palpable, but it's not too late to make a change and improve their standings.
