The Freddy Peralta Trade Has Evan Worried | Evan & Tiki

Listen Later

21 minutes

Evan makes one thing clear right away: he does not hate the move, but he is not celebrating either. The Mets are undeniably better after adding Freddy Peralta, and the rotation finally looks respectable. The problem is the price. Two top-100 prospects for a pitcher Evan believes is a one-year rental based on the track record of David Stearns.

That sparks a deeper conversation about what the Mets are actually building under Stearns and Steve Cohen. Is this a smart year-to-year strategy, or a risky way to live as a fan? Evan lays out why a rental only works if it leads to a World Series run, compares the move to past Mets rentals, and asks fans the real question: what result makes this trade worth it?

Plus, a hilarious and painfully real dad moment from Madison Square Garden, where Evan has to explain to his kids both Nets misery and why Jet Williams is suddenly no longer a Mets prospect.
