The moves made by the New York Mets during this past MLB offseason clearly reflect the organization’s ambitions. In a bold push, the front office secured the additions of several key players, including Freddy Peralta, who has now spoken publicly about his future in the league.
Will the pitcher have a brief stint in Queens, or is he truly planning to establish himself as a cornerstone of this team for years to come? The Dominican star made his stance perfectly clear.
“I would prefer to go long and make sure I’m going to be in the place where I want to finish my career,” the 2-time All Star revealed, via Ken Rosenthal. It will ultimately be a matter of watching the weeks unfold to see whether Peralta’s desire to stay with the Mets becomes a reality.
Peralta’s future in the MLB
Freddy Peralta joined the New York Mets this past offseason via trade, coming over from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for shortstop Jett Williams and right-hander Brandon Sproat. The talented pitcher signed a one-year deal worth $8 million.
