The Freddy Peralta experiment is over in New York.<\/p>\n

The Mets have traded Peralta to the Rays less than a year after acquiring him in a blockbuster trade this winter with the Brewers, per multiple reports.<\/p>\n

In a move that fans hoped would add a new ace last offseason, the Mets received the right-handed pitcher and Tobias Myers in exchange for top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat.<\/p>\n

Peralta was supposed to be the leader in a pitching staff that already included Nolan McLean, Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga.<\/p>\n

But Peralta has been anything but that.<\/p>\n

Peralta\u2019s strikeout numbers and batting average against have declined from past seasons, although he has maintained his walk rate and home run percentage of his previously All-Star seasons.<\/p>\n

Peralta himself said he doesn\u2019t understand the struggles after an 8-2 loss to the Brewers on July 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to get through this,\u201d Peralta said. \u201cI still believe in myself. I know that I\u2019m better than great and sometimes it\u2019s not easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I have to understand as a player there\u2019s some tough moments that we have got to get through. It\u2019s not the first one or the last one, but I don\u2019t want to stay like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The loss to the Brewers represented everything he has been going through.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Peralta was showered with love before the game, as the Brewers played a highlight reel of his eight seasons on the team and fans cheered for him.<\/p>\n

The pleasantries ended the second the game started, though. Peralta ended the day after 5 \u2154 innings, having allowed eight hits and two walks, and seven earned runs.<\/p>\n
