The Rays have the best record in the American League, and while their rotation has been a strength, Peralta is only due roughly $3 million for the rest of the season and is a free agent at the end of the year, making him an intriguing option for any team in search of starting pitching depth.
While Peralta has struggled to the tune of a 4.99 ERA with the Mets this season, Murray notes that some evaluators believe he could benefit from a change of scenery, which is almost certain to happen as the deadline draws nearer.
