Freddy Peralta Has Become the New York Mets’ Latest DISASTER! | Why Can't the Mets Have Nice Things?

New York Mets implode as Freddy Peralta suffers the worst start of his career, surrendering 10 earned runs in a brutal 15-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. With Bryce Harper hitting for the cycle and Kyle Schwarber launching two home runs, Mets fans are left questioning if their biggest offseason acquisition is already a bust—and whether strategic missteps, like starting Eric Wagaman in right field, doomed Peralta from the start. Ryan Finkelstein breaks down Peralta’s alarming drop in strikeouts, the impact of defensive blunders, and the implications for the Mets’ trade assets ahead of the deadline. Updates on Francisco Lindor and Christian Scott’s return provide a glimmer of hope, but with David Peterson facing Zack Wheeler and the Mets stuck in a cycle of disappointment, is there any end in sight to New York’s woes? Don’t miss this candid analysis of what’s gone wrong—and what could still go right—for the Mets.
