The 29-year-old pitcher hasn't thrown a single official pitch for the team yet, but he's made it clear he wants to stick around for years to. Come. He's heading into free agency this offseason and is looking for a 7 or 8-year contract. When asked about extension talks with the Mets, he just smiled and stayed quiet after his first spring training start. Peralta has praised the entire organization from the front office down. He says everyone has been welcoming and supportive, making his transition smooth. David Sterns, the Mets president of baseball operations, has a history with Peralta. He first acquired him as a prospect in Milwaukee and now brought him to New York. This move could strengthen the Mets' rotation not just this season, but well into the future if a deal gets done.
