The New York Met's just pulled off a big trade with the Milwaukee Brewers to land starting

pitcher Freddie Peralta.

They gave up two top prospects, Jet Williams and Brandon Sprote, to strengthen their rotation

right away.

Peralta heads into free agency after this season, but the Met's have no interest in a short

term rental, early tauts point toward a contract extension to keep him around long term.

The main challenge comes from differing views on deal structure.

Peralta wants a lengthy contract to settle in one spot for the rest of his career, while

Met's baseball operations president David Sterns leans toward, shorter, higher paying

packs.

Peralta has solid history with Sterns from their Brewers days and his track record backs

up the investment.

For eight seasons in Milwaukee, he posted a 3.59 earned run average with over 1100 strike

outs against just 300, 60 walks, another good year could boost his value even more,

and the Met's are determined to work out terms that lock him in for years to come.
