Mets' Homestand: Make or Break for Peralta Trade

0:00It's April 21st, I'm Cory with the story, and this is MLB News today, your AI-powered baseball briefing. The New York Mets are in deep trouble with an 11-game losing streak and the worst record in baseball. Their next nine-game home stand at home against the Minnesota Twins Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals could make or break them since these. Teams are all struggling too. If they don't turn it around soon, the season might be over before it really starts. Minnesota returns for the second game of that stretch, which should give the lineup a boost, but the whole offense led by guys like Francisco Lindor, and Boba Shet is the weakest in the majors. The starting pitchers and bullpen are getting no run support, forcing them to be flawless every time out.

Peralta's off to a so-so start with a 4.05 ERA over five outings, rarely going deep into games, and Nolan McLean has already passed. Him as the top arm. Clay Holmes leased the rotation at 1.96 ERA with McLean close behind at 2.28. This homestand is their shot to spark something real, or they might flip pieces like Peralta for the future and call it a year.
