- Freddy Peralta said 'I've let them down,' signaling he expects the Mets to part ways with him ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
- Peralta, a free agent this offseason, likely made his final start in a Mets uniform on Sunday after the team's postseason hopes were dashed.
Why it matters: With New York's postseason chances gone and Peralta on an expiring free-agent deal, the Mets face a deadline decision: recoup prospects via trade by Aug. 3 or risk losing him for nothing — while Peralta's public framing as a personal shortcoming rather than a roster issue hints at where he's placing blame.
