The Chicago Cubs’ path to the WS got harder after the Mets’ roster upgrades
The Chicago Cubs’ path to a World Series in the National League just got a little harder, as the New York Mets continue to build a formidable roster.
More News: The New York Yankees capitalize on the Chicago Cubs’ failure to pay Cody Bellinger
After collapsing down the stretch (28-37 post All-Star break), the New York Mets have rebounded this offseason to put together a roster that should compete with the likes of the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Mets have acquired Milwaukee Brewers Ace Freddy Peralta for top prospects infielder Jett Williams and right-hander Brandon Sproat.
New York Post columnist Joel Sherman added that right-hander Tobias Myers was also going to the Mets in the deal. Myers gives the Mets added pitching depth, used as a starter and reliever, 1-2 with an ERA of 3.55 in 22 games (six starts), and he also comes with five more years of control.
BREAKING: The New York Mets have acquired All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is done. Top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat are headed to Milwaukee. One more big league pitcher will head to the Mets.

The Chicago Cubs’ path to a World Series just got harder after the Mets’ formidable offseason
It’s safe to say the Mets may have secured the moniker of “winners of the offseason” after having an impressive week. They acquired the centerfielder they needed in Luis Robert Jr., signed the right-handed bat in Bo Bichette — who will complement Juan Soto — and added the top of the rotation starter (Peralta), they’ve needed.
Peralta, 29, had his best season with the Brewers last season, leading the National League in wins (17) and having the best ERA of his career (2.70), and made a career high 33 starts (176.2 innings). Adding Peralta gives the Mets one of the best rotations, with potential Rookie of the Year in 2026, Nolan McLean, likely slotting in behind Peralta.
With the Brewers likely to take a step back now that they’ve jettisoned Peralta, the Cubs have an easier path to winning the National League Central. However, they have a harder time getting to the World Series, not just with the Dodgers to contend with, but also the Mets.
