The Mets addressed a clear need and reshaped their rotation in the process.
In a deal with the Brewers, New York acquired starters Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers in exchange for infielder Jett Williams and right-hander Brandon Sproat. It’s a move that strengthens the Mets now while giving Milwaukee premium pieces for the future.
The Trade Breakdown
Mets receive:
Freddy Peralta
Tobias Myers
Brewers receive:
Jett Williams (ranked No. 3 in the Mets farm system by MLB Pipeline)
Brandon Sproat (ranked No. 5 in the Mets farm system by MLB Pipeline)
Williams also ranks 30th on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects, giving the Brewers one of the more highly regarded young players in baseball.
Where Peralta Fits
Peralta slides in atop the Mets rotation and immediately headlines the staff. With Nolan McLean, David Peterson, Clay Holmes, and a Sean Manaea/Kodai Senga mix behind him, he gives the group a clear front-line presence and structure.
Why This Works for the Mets
Peralta is under contract through the 2026 season and is set to become a free agent afterward, giving the Mets one year of control before needing to make a long-term decision. That flexibility allows New York to stabilize the rotation now without locking itself into a long commitment.
Myers adds starting pitching depth for the Mets.
Why This Works for the Brewers
Milwaukee turns a veteran starter into two highly regarded prospects. Williams brings speed, on-base ability, and impact upside, while Sproat adds a power arm the organization can develop. Both rankings, per MLB Pipeline, underline the quality of the return.
The Bottom Line
This is a clean, purposeful trade. The Mets get a rotation leader with limited long-term risk. The Brewers add high-end, controllable talent. No panic, no excess — just a deal that fits where both teams are right now.
