A long-term agreement between the New York Mets and pitcher Freddy Peralta is unlikely before Opening Day, despite ongoing discussions. Peralta is seeking a seven or eight-year deal, while the Mets prefer a four- or five-year contract, leading to significant differences in negotiations. Currently in the final season of a five-year, $15.5 million deal, Peralta will start for the Mets on Opening Day after a successful 2025 season. Mets president David Stearns, who previously signed Peralta, is familiar with his situation.
