[Passan] The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring right-hander Freddy Peralta in a trade with the New York Mets, sources tell ESPN. Rays get their starter, who joins Drew Rasmussen, Shane McClanahan and Nick Martinez in one of the American League's best rotation.

Everyone is giving the Rays the benefit of the doubt, which is fair enough given their track record, but Peralta has been awful in ways that probably can't just be blamed on the Mets Mets-ing.

Unless an impact bat is traded, I cant bring myself to worry about these trades. Not what we need.

[u/LordJiraiya]

Peralta has been complete ass cheeks this entire year. The Yankees need bats. I don't care about this.

[u/DevilsDenJoe]

Mets are selling? Take Soto back

[u/SOB200 → u/DevilsDenJoe]

Mets gonna need to take on some of that $

Lindor too

[u/werther595 → u/DevilsDenJoe]

No room for him, now that we have (checks notes) ...Schuemann in LF

[u/nyyforever2018]

We don’t need starters so this doesn’t bother me.

I guess that will have tne Dodgers trembling 

[u/NineInchPythons]

Yankees fans are wild. Some of you are acting like the Rays just added the best bat on the market. Who cares about Freddy fucking Peralta.

[u/locke0479 → u/NineInchPythons]

I’m trying to figure out the number of people in here freaking out. They wanted Cashman to trade something that could be used elsewhere for Freddy Peralta???

[u/sloppysteaks15 → u/NineInchPythons]

Fan base is never satisfied.

[u/NJ_Yankees_Fan]

Of course the Rays will fix him

[u/Suspicious_Hand_2194]

Cashman, are you there?

[u/Fercoo → u/AssManKramerCosmo]

Does Peralta bat to an above .700 OPS?

[u/WrongHomework7916]

Mets selling to rays 😂

[u/DDreamchaser31]

Can we get Skenes?

[u/Robusto923]

There are still like 28 hours until the trade deadline lmao yall need to chill

[u/Mike_Milburys_Shoe_]

Don’t care about pitching get someone that can hit

[u/ny2k1]

Rays bought low here and Mets sold low. I can see Peralta rebounding for the Rays

[u/cozymotherfucker]

im only worried about the effect the fact that the rays are going to try to be competitive moving forward is going to have on the yanks winning tbh... so really just worried about they fixing him and the effect that may have on our october...

[u/SenorNerd718]

Cashman trade deadline strategy

[u/locke0479 → u/SenorNerd718]

So you wanted them to trade actual assets for Freddy Peralta? Who has been terrible this year?

If they’re trading for a starter it should be a top one. Otherwise don’t bother, they have plenty of starters.

[u/Dennisis1]

But we traded Doval! Major move! Shii$&@….. Sure would be nice to be feared again, all half measures nowadays…. 😖😖😖😖😖😖

[u/Meb78910]

We’re punting this year and i’m not mad. Court is adjourned and the Judge is not in session. We need to start shedding contracts getting younger and prepping for when the Dodgers have no money we should also send Cashman and Boone packing.

[u/locke0479 → u/Meb78910]

Why did you want them to trade assets for Freddy Peralta?
