Mets' Peralta Likely Hitting Free Agency

0:00On April 3rd, the New York meds brought in Freddie Peralta as their top starter to fix last season's late collapse, but a new report says no in season. Contract extension is coming for the 29-year-old Ridey, hitting free agency this winter looks likely unless something changes. Mitz history backs this up. They rarely do mid-season deals, ranking near the bottom and baseball for extensions over the last decade and a half. Across front offices and owners, it's just not their style, with only a handful signed since 2010. Fans and insiders get the caution though, with the team already shelling out big bucks to stars like Lindor and Alonzo. They want to watch Peralta pitch half a year in Queens before committing long-term. Team President David Stern sticks to his rule against mega extensions for guys 30 or older and Peralta turns 30 in June. Sources say, talks won't heat up across the roster anytime soon. If Peralta balls out with another all-star year, the meds could lose their A-stopper to the highest bidder, forcing tough choices this off season.
