Episode Details

David Peterson, the Mets’ longest-tenured player since 2020, is heading to Chicago after a trade that sends him to the Cubs in exchange for minor-league prospect Cole Mathis. Though his Mets tenure ended with a rough season—his ERA ballooning to 6.09 in 68 innings—he’s moving forward with optimism, crediting personal growth and returning to form. Making his Cubs debut Saturday, he allowed just two runs in five and two-thirds innings, including a leadoff homer on his first pitch. Peterson called it an honor to wear the Mets uniform and praised the lifelong bonds he made in Queens, while embracing his new chapter with the Cubs, eager to pitch for a team in need and ready to shine.
