The Freddy Peralta trade has failed, and the Mets may now face the humiliating possibility of sending him straight back to Milwaukee. Evan Roberts argues that New York must ignore the awful optics and accept the best available return, even if it comes from the Brewers, while questions grow about whether David Stearns can be trusted to clean up the mess.

Evan also predicts Peralta will deliver his best start as a Met in his emotional return to Milwaukee, potentially making it his final appearance with New York. Then the conversation turns to the most Mets possibility imaginable: trading Peralta just days before fans are scheduled to receive his bobblehead at Citi Field.
