David Peterson is drawing trade interest, and the New York Mets are open to moving him.
Fantasy Impact
Peterson started a career-high 30 games in 2025, posting a 4.22 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 150 strikeouts across 168.2 innings. He was dominant in the first half of the season, recording a 3.06 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, but struggled after the break with a 6.39 ERA and 1.62 WHIP. According to Will Sammon, the Mets could look to move him in a “need-for-need” type of trade. However, it remains unclear if a deal will materialize, as the asking price for Peterson is believed to be high.

Fantasy Impact
After today’s performance, Peterson's season stats include a 3.88 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 9-5 record across 28 starts. It's been a solid season for the veteran lefty, but he's starting to fall apart at the end. Since the trade deadline, he's pitched 41.1 innings with a 6.53 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and a still impressive 10.2 K/9. He's got three quality starts in that span and none since August 19. He'll look to get back on track next week against the Padres.
