Sources: Rays Acquire Peralta in Trade with Mets The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired Freddy Peralta from the New York Mets in a trade that marks the latest move by the Amazins to shed underperforming assets.
The deal sends Peralta, who has struggled this season, and some prospects to Tampa Bay in exchange for a struggling veteran reliever. Peralta's 4.
99 ERA is a far cry from his pre season hype, when he was acquired by the Mets just six months ago in a trade that cost them two top prospects.
