"Freddy Peralta is looking for a deal 'seven or eight years' in length, while the Mets are interested in shorter-term contracts."
"The Mets are reportedly open to talking even after play begins on March 26, and Peralta 'didn't say he was opposed' to continuing negotiations."
"A potential compromise could be a four- or five-year extension worth a high average annual value, and with multiple opt-outs."
"Due to the likelihood of a lockout next winter, an extension that could be beneficial for both parties is being considered."
Freddy Peralta and the Mets have engaged in contract extension discussions, but they remain far apart, making an agreement before Opening Day unlikely. Peralta seeks a seven or eight-year deal, while the Mets prefer shorter contracts. Despite this, the Mets are open to negotiations after the season starts. Peralta is set to become a free agent next winter, prompting the Mets to consider retaining him. A potential compromise could involve a shorter extension with a high average annual value and opt-outs.
