On Wednesday, the New York Mets acquired All-Star right-handed starting pitcher Freddy Peralta from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. Williams, a shortstop, is MLB Pipeline's No. 30-ranked prospect, and Sproat, a right-handed pitcher, is now the Brewers' No. 6-ranked prospect.
Since Peralta is only under team control for next season, surrendering prospects as highly-regarded as Williams and Sproat seems pricey for the righty. But the Steve Cohen-led Mets are always in win-now mode and always have money to spend, so the deal made sense for them.
