New York Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta wishes to remain with the team despite their poor 15-25 start and has been mentioned in trade rumors ahead of the August 3 deadline. The two-time All-Star, who joined the Mets from the Brewers in January, expressed confidence in the team’s ability to improve and his desire to stay in Queens. Peralta, with a 3.12 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 43.1 innings this season, has attracted interest from the Chicago Cubs, who need rotation support.
