The Mets and Peterson avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson will be able to skip a hearing in what was his second year of arbitration eligibility. The southpaw's strikeout rate dipped to 19.8 percent in 2024, but he finished with a 2.90 ERA over 21 starts and will open 2025 in the Mets' rotation.
