Mets in deep talks to acquire Freddy Peralta in potential blockbuster trade with Brewers

The Mets’ busy Wednesday came with a late-night twist. 

The Mets were in deep talks to acquire right-handed starter Freddy Peralta from the Brewers and 27-year-old reliever Tobias Myers, according to The Post’s Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman.

The talks appeared to be centered on outfield/infield prospect Jett Williams and pitcher Brandon Sproat. 

The potential deal would bolster the Amazin’s pitching staff by adding Peralta, a two-time All-Star, who had a 2.70 ERA and 204 strikeouts in 176 ⅔ innings of work in 2025.

Last season was his best season to date, racking up a career-best 17 wins for the Brewers. 

Myers, a right-hander, had a 3.55 ERA and 38 strikeouts over 50 ⅔ innings last season in Milwaukee and brings some experience as a starter as well to the Big Apple. 

Ironically, the trade comes on the same day as Baseball America included Sproat and Williams on their list of top-100 prospects.

Earlier in the day, the Mets officially introduced infielder Bo Bichette and signed reliever Luis Garcia.
