Mets Bet on Peralta’s acclimation as Benge eyes a spring path
Freddy Peralta has joined the Mets with extension talks likely taking a back seat while he acclimates, and the club remains hopeful but private on a future deal; Carson Benge is still in the mix for a spring roster spot at left field amid ongoing roster reshuffling, while Kodai Senga is expected to be in the rotation. If healthy, the Mets could run a six-man rotation (Peralta, Senga, Manaea, Peterson, Holmes, McLean) and lean on defensive depth with Soto in right, Robert in center, and Taylor in left as Benge develops.
