The Rays and Mets have officially completed a trade sending right-hander Freddy Peralta to Tampa Bay. New York receives prospects Aidan Smith, Émilien Pitre, and Gary Gill Hill in return. The Rays are 65-45 and lead the AL East by 3.5 games, and the move addresses rotation uncertainty caused by injuries and workload concerns among current starters.
