After making the Bo Bichette signing official and trading for White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr.<\/a> on Tuesday night, the Mets continued a huge week on Wednesday by agreeing to a deal with hard-throwing reliever Luis Garcia and then trading for Brewers right-handers Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cWhat an incredible week. Let\u2019s go Mets !\u201d Cohen wrote on X in the moments after the team made the trade with Milwaukee official.<\/p>\n Last Thursday, Cohen gave social media plenty of fodder when he posted \u201cLet me know when you see smoke,\u201d as the Tucker proceedings came to a head shortly before he signed a four-year, $240 million contract<\/a> with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n About 12 hours after the Mets\u2019 $220 million bid fell short<\/a>, they poached infielder Bo Bichette on a three-year pact \u2014 right as it looked like the Phillies were going to land<\/a> him on a long-term commitment. <\/p>\n The trades have come fast and furious this week, with the team getting Roberts \u2014 a 2023 All-Star outfielder \u2014 along with Peralta and Myers in deals one day apart.<\/p>\n Peralta, 29, gives the Mets a bona fide ace and is coming off a career year with a 2.70 ERA and National League-leading 17 wins. He has thrown at least 165 innings in each of the last three seasons and over 173 in the past two.<\/p>\n With the two trades, the Mets have sent away four young players, three of whom are still prospects. <\/p>\n Utilityman Luisangel Acu\u00f1a and minor league pitcher Truman Pauley went to the White Sox, while pitcher Brandon Sproat and infielder\/outfielder Jett Williams got dealt to Milwaukee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Where there was smoke came fire.
