Wow quite a haul for a rental
The other big league pitcher is presumably Tobias Myers
Fuck me
My friend texted me 15 minutes ago that the brewers are never trading him, lmao
I’m going to be honest, that’s a really good return for Milwaukee!
Bills suck
Wow….what a bounceback offseason for the Mets after losing Alonso and Diaz
The Mets are a big boy team that make big boy trades when they want to win
GODDAM that progressed quick!
Stearns I would like to apologize for everything I said
This is one of those deals that neither fan base likes, which imo shows it’s a fair deal
Lmaooo we really about to go in to the season with the rotation we have rn
Stearns is acting like me in Franchise mode. Let’s gooooo Freddy!!!!
This will be an incredible overpay if we don’t extend him
Brewers win the best names in this trade. Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat. Jett is like a 75 grade baseball name for a guy with his skill set.
That’s a boatload for a rental pitcher.
Brewers did well with this trade. Jett fits their mold very well, and with their pitching development they could turn Sproat into his full potential.
You’ve just created one million Freddy Peraltas
And this is why you build up the farm.
Freddy has been a gem in my keeper league the last few years — hope he continues his success in New York!
Hopefully Sproat sees fit to struggle against the Cubs, because I’m sick of getting schlonged by Milwaukee’s endless supply of young stud pitchers.
This is fair so long as we can extend Peralta
Mets have had a pretty solid offseason after all that doom and gloom early on. On another note, there has to be nobody competing with the Orioles for Framber, please Mike Elias.
Glad the Mets are going all-in to capitalize on Soto’s prime years but its a shame seeing the Brewers ship off their ace after having the best regular season record in 2025 because they know they can’t afford him come FA. I guess its been their MO for staying competitive in a small market but I can see how it’d be tough being a fan of a team where you’re constantly shipping off stars and rooting for exciting new guys every couple of years.
Jett Williams is such a cool name
We need to stop trades. The Mets are doing too much
Fuck them prospects 😂
Im so sad. I love my fastball freddy
Spicy take, I’m cool with getting rid of Peralta. Was too wild, didn’t trust him
Ah man, I really wanted to see Jett. But we have TWO starters
I’m crying in my beer rn….😭
my favorite NY team
So basically they swapped:
Nimmo for Luis Robert
McNeil for Semien
Alonso for Bichette
Diaz for Myers
Sproat for Peralta
They’re a much more well rounded team now
Hell yeah Brew Crew! I can say it, we’re family now! Get in here Quintana!
wow Jett was made in a lab for the Brewers
Mets are clearly a top ten team, now.
Little bit better give than Cliff Floyd’s offer of Baty, Mauricio and Tong
I like this trade a lot for the Mets wow
GO GET VALDEZ NOW
Jett Williams is like if the Brewers made their ideal player in a lab
Whoa. That’s a blockbuster. I’d rather have the Mets side, but Milwaukee got high value prospects here.
David Stearns is playing Franchise Mode in real life.
Damn Mets are loading that silver bullet for that big bad LA team
Everyone who didn’t do inherently shit in the offseason is hating on the Mets, (Philly fans, yankee fans, rest of mlb) like can we see where it plays out
Look im happy freddy is out of my division but im dreading the brewers inevitably working their devil magic and turning sporat into freddy 2.0
I’ll really miss Freddy’s energy and attitude, was a great representative for the team, loved by everyone. I’ll obviously also miss him as a pitcher, but the team has a fantastic group of young starters so I think they’ll manage.
Thing with Freddy is that he’s really, really good at not giving up hits. Like historically good. His .200 batting average against (among pitchers with 500 IP as starters in the last 10 years) is the best in baseball in that time. The tradeoff is that he also gives up a lot of walks, and runs up high pitch counts leading to short starts. Around 5 1/3 innings, and that’s with a much longer leash than most Brewers starters have. Even 7-8 years ago, that talent was obvious, he struck out 13 in his MLB debut at Coors. But you always had this feeling that there was more, and that kind of left a feeling after each start that it could’ve been even better. Mostly it was the nibbling, seemingly not trusting his stuff to put players away. And I get that it’s partly intentional, just not giving up anything remotely hittable. Just felt unnecessary at times. And if Chris Hook can’t sort that out over 8 years (Plus a few in the minors) I don’t think it’ll happen.
Anyway, I don’t mean to make this negative, I do love Freddy. Just trying to put into words the feeling that he never reached the heights he seemed able to. Both the joy and frustration of watching him pitch. Honestly, kind of reminds me of the starter version of Devin Williams in a way. Will get into all kinds of trouble with walks, run up a super high pitch count in the first inning, and it’ll look hopeless. But leaves the game after 5 IP with just one run allowed. Somehow trick him into thinking the 1st inning is actually the 2nd, and he’ll be amazing.
An innings eater throw in helps the mets a ton. That being said this is a huge win for the brewers, they managed to get two top prospects for a rental they didn’t want to pay
Mets are having an interesting off-season . I hope they do well next year
So what I’m hearing is that the Brewers will somehow act like nothing has changed and win the division again?
