The right-hander's contract status remains fluid as New York weighs its options before the trade deadline.
The Mets will not pursue an extension with Freddy Peralta until after the season, leaving open the possibility of a trade ahead of the deadline. Peralta is 1-3 with a 3.52 ERA over seven starts this season, spanning 38.1 innings with 42 strikeouts.
The deferral creates uncertainty around the 29-year-old starter heading into the second half. The Mets can evaluate their rotation and playoff odds over the next six weeks before deciding whether to lock him in long-term or move him for prospects or immediate help.
