Peralta Pulled From Start as Mets Shield Him Amid Trade Talks
The Mets held Freddy Peralta out of his scheduled start Friday as trade negotiations with multiple teams reached a serious level.
Freddy Peralta did not take the mound for his expected Friday start against the Marlins, instead watching from the dugout railing. Mets interim manager Andy Green confirmed the decision was made to protect Peralta as trade discussions intensified. Green noted the talks had reached a level where sitting him was the prudent course, though no deal was imminent at that moment. The trade deadline is set for 6 p.m. ET on Monday, August 3.
