When the Mets traded pitcher David Peterson to the Cubs for infield prospect Cole Mathis, it marked a significant shift for the long-tenured Met, who had struggled this season with a 6.08 ERA. Cubs manager Craig Counsell noted Peterson’s shock at the sudden trade, which followed a disappointing stretch that saw him demoted to the bullpen. The Mets, currently at the bottom of the NL East, may face more roster changes as they look to rebuild. Teammate Bo Bichette expressed sadness over the trade, highlighting Peterson’s strong presence in the clubhouse.
