The New York Mets traded pitcher David Peterson to the Chicago Cubs for Cole Mathis, the Cubs’ No. 13 ranked prospect, following a disappointing doubleheader loss where the Mets were outscored 20-8. Peterson, who struggled this season with a 3-6 record and a 6.09 ERA, lost his starting position and is the first of potentially many players to be traded as the Mets’ season falters. Mathis, a 22-year-old third baseman drafted in 2024, has shown promise with 10 home runs and a .981 OPS this season.
