The New York Mets traded for Freddy Peralta, but he is one year away from earning a lucrative deal in free agency.

"The Houston Astros were another team to show interest in [Freddy] Peralta, but they dropped out last month after trading top prospect Jacob Melton as part of a three-way trade that landed them starter Mike Burrows," The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal wrote Friday.

Reports about Freddy Peralta's clubhouse impact speak volumes about the New York Mets' new ace.
