The MLB Winter Meetings have kicked off in Orlando, and like snowflakes, rumors are swirling through the air. The New York Mets have been linked to almost every top free agent on the market. It’s the same story every year, where the Mets show their interest thanks to billionaire owner Steve Cohen. The free-agent market isn\u2019t the only place the Mets are searching; they\u2019ve also been linked to several of the top names on the trade block.<\/p>\n

For starters, the Mets have shown interest in adding pitching, primarily a front-line starter who can take pressure off their younger arms. It\u2019s unlikely that the Detroit Tigers<\/a> deal Tarik Skubal<\/a>, while the Minnesota Twins would also like to hold onto Joe Ryan<\/a>, leaving just one team as a likely trade partner: the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n

Over the last several years, Milwaukee has consistently moved stars like Josh Hader<\/a> and Corbin Burnes<\/a> as they neared contract decisions to avoid shelling out long-term deals that would stretch their payroll. Freddy Peralta<\/a> is a name they\u2019re now open to moving<\/a>, given the right package.<\/p>\n

However, the Mets have expressed interest in not only trading for Freddy Peralta, but also closer Trevor Megill<\/a>. Both arms would provide the Mets with immense improvement, but like any trade for high-quality players, you must give to get.<\/p>\n

With that, here is a package<\/a> both teams would happily accept.<\/p>\n

A Freddy Peralta-Trevor Megill Trade Makes Sense for the Mets<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mets receive:<\/strong>
SP Freddy Peralta
RP Trevor Megill<\/p>\n

Brewers receive:<\/strong>
UTL Jett Williams<\/a> (No. 3 prospect)
SP Brandon Sproat<\/a> (No. 5 prospect)
1B Ryan Clifford<\/a> (No. 8 prospect)
INF Ronny Mauricio<\/a><\/p>\n

Why It Works for the Mets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although Peralta isn\u2019t an ace, he\u2019s still one of the best pitchers on the trade market. In each of his last three seasons, Peralta has struck out over 200 batters while throwing 176 innings last season. He has also made 30-plus starts in each of the last three years, giving the Mets something they\u2019ve truly lacked: a consistent, durable pitcher. Although there\u2019s just one year of control remaining, the Mets will likely work toward an extension to keep Peralta in their rotation for several more seasons.<\/p>\n

Hypothetical trade that would send Freddy Peralta AND Trevor Megill to the Mets:<\/p>\n

Mets receive:
\nSP Freddy Peralta
\nRP Trevor Megill<\/p>\n

Brewers receive:
