Does Mets Trade for Peralta ENSURE Valdez to Orioles? | Vinny & Haynie
The MLB dominoes are falling—is Framber Valdez next? ⚾️🐦
The New York Mets just sent shockwaves through the MLB offseason by trading top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat for Brewers ace Freddy Peralta. While the move solidifies the Mets’ rotation, it may have just done the Baltimore Orioles the biggest favor of the winter.
With New York likely out of the running for another high-priced starter, Mike Elias and the Orioles now have massive leverage in the sweepstakes for free-agent lefty Framber Valdez. Is it finally “Framber or Bust” for Baltimore?

2:40 – Who is standing in the way between the Orioles snatching up Framber Valdez?

I still wouldn't count out the Mets on Valdez doing another short, high AAV deal.
