Mets trade Freddy Peralta to Rays: Mets’d Up Instant Reaction · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The New York Mets have finally traded Freddie Peralta. We
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: got rid of aj mint Or. Freddie Peralta is the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: next domino to fall, going to the Tampa Bay Rays
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: in exchange for three prospects from their system. The Mets
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: are getting Aiden Smith, a million p tray, and Gary
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: gil Hill. We're going to talk about all the prospects
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: coming back to the Mets, as well as briefly what
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: this trade means before get going into it. Makes sure
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you guys are subscribed two met stuff over here on
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: YouTube for all the Mets content coming at you, and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: if you're listening to us Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Drops
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the Rain drops a review, download and subscribe. I was
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: hoping for a top one hundred prospect. We did not
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: get close to a top one hundred prospect. It feels underwhelming,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: but I guess now, with the context of the Trek
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Schooble trade and just of what we've got from Freddy
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Peralta in general, I think this is actually probably the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: right package back.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I think this is a totally fine package. We've talked
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: about a lot heading into this trade deadline. I talked
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: about on a lot of my channel recently too. You
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: don't really get many literal top hundred prospects trade at
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the deadline, ever, which you're trying to do is get
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: guys who can be top hundred prospects next year. Yes,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that's kind of the goal of the trade deadline. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: think the Mets got one and a half prospects who
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: have a chance to be top hundred prospects within the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: next twelve months. I think the big one is Emmanuel
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Ptray a double amptre Amelia p. Tray, Emilia a million,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a million.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, French.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: He's born in Montreal, which is unbelievable for a baseball prospect.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Two cold weather prospects here, which in Mets couch I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: feel like they kind of love right now. But he's
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: raking in double A right now, advanced approach from the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: left side, super elite hit tool, and it seems like
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: they just probably think they can coax some more pull
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: side power out of him, and then you have a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: left handed hitting second basement with plus plus hit and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: hopefully at least average to plus power. Yeah, that's like
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a that's a fine profile.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I wish that we had some exafilos on these guys,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: just so that we could get a little bit more
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of a sense of like what the raw power could
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: look like. But I think the Mets are doing the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: approach that we've talked about before, where they're looking for
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: guys with one very very good trait and then hoping
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that they can build around the rest of it. So,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: like you said, with a million p tray, he is
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a contact king. He is striking out like under eleven
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: percent of the time right now in Double A. He's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: walking a ton, he gets on base, doesn't chase at all,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't whiff, is super patient at the plate, hits a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: ton of ground balls, almost never pulls the ball in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the air. But this is a contact first guy that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I would assume the Mets are hoping they can coax
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit more power, like you said, pull side power,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: doing stuff in the air a little bit more, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: can play second base.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So that's what it felt like for me with Petre.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Definitely just to give the stats at Double A this year,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: again in a twenty three year old, so average age
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: for the level can't really add much. So it's at
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: least nice that he's destroying Double A. But thirty seven
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: games there, it's a three twenty three average, a four
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: point fifty on base and sorry, I had to get
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: my discord off. That beating was pissing me off. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a four to ninety two slug for one to fifty
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: five WRC plus only three home runs. Like you said,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: very little power, but eighteen percent walks and ten percent strikeouts.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Is that's a guy that's very much too advanced for
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that level.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: It doesn't.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's not the same athleticism, it's not the same defensive value,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: but doesn't strike me that differently. Good, Try and find
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: watch some videos right now with him swinging the bat
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of a profile to aj ewing, where again it's like,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we want to make sure you could have an a
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: swing where you could hunt for power when you need it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Because your hit tool and your approach are so good,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: we have no concerns with you working deep into accounts
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and being in poor leverage spots in individual at bats.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So if we can actually get you to make a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: swings with power early accounts when you have the advantage,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you know you're getting something middle in and you can
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: eventually find fifteen home run power with.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: The rest of your tools. Probably a plus player at
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: some point. Yeah, if you could just flash middling power.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: This completely changes the ceiling of a player that a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: guy like Ptray could be, which I guess we'll just
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: wait and see. I love that you're saying the aj
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: ewing thing because I do think you see a lot
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of organizations do this if they've had success with an
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: archetype of player before, they look for those players again
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: because they.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Just have the proof that it's worked.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And at least he's a solid second base defender as well. Okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we have some exit velocity day they shout out of
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: TJ stats for this a one hundred three mile per
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: hour EV ninety and a forty three percent hard hit
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: rate from p Tray at double A, so that is
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a bit below average. There's also not that different from
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Jefferson Rojas, as we shouted out as a prospect that
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: was a fringe top hundred guy that we thought was
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: like thet case return for Freddie Peralta. But I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: again it's it's a breakout season from a guy who
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: aged level is not great, but growing up in Montreal
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and playing baseball Kentucky, he could baseball.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Per our game.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But this is someone that you probably could expect a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: little bit more of a late stage breakout. This isn't sexy,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and again, this isn't a prospect. Everybody knows he's something
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that we live and breathed.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: This stuff. We learned about HM an hour ago, and.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It's just like, but doing this research in I'm like,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not at all mad about this return whatsoever.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: No, the other two prospects that have heard the names
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of Gary gil Hill I think has flashed at times
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: before the last eighty great name, Yeah, eighty great name,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Absolutely Gary gil Hill. I hope he does well just
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: simply on the name. I want to Gil Hill Jersey
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one day. But he's a name that's flashed on top
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: one hundreds a couple of years ago. I think he's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: kind of taken a little bit of a step back
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the previous two seasons in twenty five and twenty twenty six.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You mentioned he's a local kid. The thing with Gary
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: gil Hill, we talk about traits and having some sort
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of it seems like elite trait that we can then
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: build off of. All he does is throw strikes. He
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: does not throw balls. He doesn't walk any guys. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the other interesting to here is that with the lack
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of walks, he does get a ton of chase, which
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is super interesting for a guy who gets almost no
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: whips and no swing and miss.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Do you know what he's going to be?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: What's he gonna be?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: An edge lord?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Edge lord?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He's deep pitch mixed. I think he was throwing six
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: ish pitches. The Rays have apparently tried to add Velo
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: because he came up as a as a skinny kid.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Another high school draftee from New rochelle to shout out
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in New York for this one. I think he went
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to JFJAS, JFK Catholic, JFK Catholic. But he's someone that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: again seemingly slots into being a backman end, a mid
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to back end rotation starter where if you can find
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: more swing and miss, which probably has come from velocity
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: or just slightly manipulating some pitch shapes, but seems like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he has the ability to do that as a guy
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: wh's been able to pick up more pitches as he's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: been a minor leaguer. It's probably just again a fine
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: back end dude. Like it's let's let's try and do
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the thought exercise of comparing these two guys to Jet
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Williams and Brandon sprote.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Was he the dude?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: By the way, did he pitch for Team Great Britain
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and like look nasty like against USA for like two winnings.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that a thing that happened? I think it was
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that happened. I feel like that Gary. This name is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so funny, Gary gil Hill, Gary gil Hill World Baseball Classic.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Like I feel like he had like a really good
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: inning and then because of Team Great Britain the left
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: him in a little.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Bit too long.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah he actually did Okay, we could remembery he could
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: memory right there.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Funny enough Team England, Big England Podcast. But it feels
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: like it just it really doesn't feel like that bad
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of a return to me. I'm not I'm not kind
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of kind of happy about this, Like I would.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Have preferred the returns that we were talking about, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like it was even remotely on the table.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So it's like, get that out of our brain. Seeing
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: this trade tells me that it wasn't even slightly close
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I called the Rays.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I was called the Rays. You called the school ol package.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: He called the Rays. You're two for two so far?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Do it really good? With the trade deadline?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So far, but also there might have been opportunities for
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the metsic get one better prospect and maybe when that
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: when push came to shove David Stearns just like I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: think we actually might need some quantity over maybe the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: high end quality when this quality is quality isn't even
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: that bad. Aiden Smith is just a toolsy outfielder. He
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: was the other part of the Randy Rose range trade
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: along with Brodie Hopkins to the Rays.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: He run fast, hit hard, swing miss.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, he actually his whiff so far this year I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: don't think has been okay. At high A it was
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit worse. But he's a super freak athlete.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Same thing, looking for that elite tool again. I think
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we now know exactly what the Mets are doing this
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. You've got one tool, how can we develop
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the rest? Aiden Smith is the freak athlete center fielder.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Hope that he eventually becomes Tyrone Taylor.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's that's a fine third piece
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: to look at if you were doing this. I also
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: think I think they parlt is gonna be good again.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Probably is, I don't.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wish the best for him, go be
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: great with the Rays. Whatever, yeah, go join the playoff
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: staff where they need some innings right now. They have
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to figure out how they're gonna weather the storm without mclinahan,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: figure out how they can get Griffin Jackson, eencymore to
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the playoff rotation and Rasmus in like this is. This
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: was a great matchup for these two teams. It felt
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: like this was a good option.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It felt like there was a pretty robust Freddy Pearl
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to market. At least a bunch of teams were interested. Now, ye, now,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: considering what we heard about the White Sox return Walkow
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and who's the other guy it was in Boston Smith?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Is that Boston Smith? Would you have preferred that? Or
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: do you prefer this one?
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I think I.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Prefer this one, right Yeah? Yeah?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I mean again, I think this guy Petray is like
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: just big helium, and we have someone moving in the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: right direction who looks like they can be major league
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: caliber at something that might be a position of need
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I do also wonder if, like for the Mets, getting
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: all these guys who feel like they could eventually just
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: be major league players, if that's something that they're considering
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: more as a front office because they know that they're
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to spend to go fill in like
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the big boppers.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I know that didn't work this offseason. We don't need
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: to talk about that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: But the idea is like, if we need, if we
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: need big players, we'll go and spend the money on them.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Where we can actually make a lot of that money
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: back is by getting a bunch of major leaguers who
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: are gonna be free on the back end of the roster.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: And this is what these guys feel like.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, and this was the problem with this team going
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: into this year, where it's like, oh, let's fill up
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: with the whore h plocos of the world to get
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: out of that type of contract. We've been begging the Mets
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to stop signing. I mean two three year deals are
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: fined usually always in vacuum. Besides, when it's a player
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: who hits worse than the.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Pictures when they used to be able to hit the
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: picture with one arm.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think I don't know this is it's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: just a funny conundrum. I think the world right now
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: is jumping l Well, Mets, look Hellelo they got for
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Freddie Peralta, but in a situation where he was here
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: as a rental no matter what he made the trade
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: for him this offseason on one guy in Jet Williams,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: who's gone straight down in value since he left your organization,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: and Brandon Sprote, who I still think the world's a
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: bit divisive on.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I still am a fan.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: But there's a world in five years from now that
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Petray and Garrett Gilhill are more valuable than Sprote and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Jet Williams.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I actually I could talk, I could back myself into it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I have more faith in Jet, but I know that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he's struggled mightily this year.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: It just hasn't looked particularly good. But I do.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I still got the faith in Jet, especially in that org.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I like the idea of gil Hill and Sprote being
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: similar ish value players at some point in their careers,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: even getting to those spots in completely different directions, with
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Sproke being like I'm gonna I'm gonna throw bad shape
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: fastballs right at you, but with nasty breakers and gil
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Hill just being an edgelord being an edge lord, similar
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: edge lord's on this team. We also are expecting to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: hear a Wasascar Browser Bond trade seemingly any moment now,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: because he was on hug Watch. Given handshakes to everybody
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen. Seems like he's on his way out.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm expecting more and more Mets news to come out,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: but you guys will probably not hear from us again
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: because I can't imagine that there's a big enough player
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: moved by the New York Mets that needs a video
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to drop instantly until Monday morning. If anything else happens
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: from the time that this video drops Freddy perulta Trade
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: two tomorrow morning, it'll be covered in tomorrow morning's episode.

• 10:36
  Speaker 2: about everything else that happens. Also, there's can be a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: lot more than happens on Monday, so probably do something
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: else Monday night for you guys.
