The latest update on Freddy Peralta’s trade market isn’t anything unexpected. According to The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal, the Milwaukee Brewers are expected to look for an immediate candidate to replace Peralta on the roster in the form of a younger, more controllable starting pitcher. The good thing for the New York Mets is they have two players who could conceivably meet that demand.
The Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong duo debuted last year with the former outperforming the latter. That’s not to say Sproat will have the better career. Tong leaped over him in 2025 and feels a little more prized because of how utterly dominant he was in the minor leagues at all stops.
