PERFECT FIT: Freddy Peralta Should Be a Building Block, NOT a Rental!

Will the Mets seize the opportunity to make Freddy Peralta the rotation’s foundation?  

Host Ryan Finkelstein examines Peralta’s powerful press conference and follow-up interview, revealing why the former Milwaukee Brewers ace and lifelong Mets fan could be the perfect fit for New York.  

Discussion centers on Peralta’s talent, charisma, and leadership, plus his deep ties to the city and frontrunners like David Stearns.

Key topics include potential contract extension scenarios—could a six-year, $140 million deal secure Peralta’s future as the Mets’ ace?  

The episode breaks down payroll implications, the value of building around Peralta, and how locking him in sends a strong message to the fanbase.  

With big decisions looming, Ryan Finkelstein asks: Will the Mets commit now and craft a championship-caliber rotation, or risk losing one of baseball’s most promising arms?
