The Cubs and Mets have discussed a Freddy Peralta trade, according to WSCR-AM’s Bruce Levine.

The Mets aren’t bailing on the season just yet, but if things don’t get better in the coming weeks, Peralta, a free agent to be, would become one of the top names on the trade market. The Mets gave up Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to acquire Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Brewers in January. Peralta has opened the season 2-3 with a 3.12 ERA through eight starts.
