Mets Veteran Sends Harsh Freddy Peralta Message After Surprising Rays Change
The New York Mets’ three-year reliever seemed to question the trade castoffs’ mindset after a surprising change with the Tampa Bay Rays.
New York Mets veteran Adam Ottavino suggested on a recent podcast that Freddy Peralta's struggles with the team might be linked to his inability to handle the pressure of playing in a big market, as well as his focus on negotiating a new contract. Ottavino, who played for the Mets in the past, explained that Peralta's mental resilience was called into question due to his feelings of pressure from fans and the big market environment.
Ottavino's comments indicate that Peralta's mindset during his contract year might have been off, potentially affecting his performance.
