The Rays' Rotation Gets a Boost, But at What Cost? The Tampa Bay Rays have bolstered their already strong rotation by acquiring Freddy Peralta from the Mets in exchange for three minor leaguers.
This trade appears to be a savvy move on the surface, as the Rays gain a proven major league starter with high stakes experience and a strong track record without giving up a top prospect.
However, closer examination reveals that this trade is more complex than initially meets the eye. Peralta's struggles this season are well documented, including a 4. 99 ERA and winless streak in six April starts.
