Sitting at 23-33, the Mets are one of the worst teams in baseball, and New York has pretty much fully embraced the youth movement, which is bad news for current players who are underperforming.<\/p>\n<p>A big underperformer this season has been lefty starter David Peterson. Peterson is a free agent at season\u2019s end, and settled for a one-year, $8.1 million deal in arbitration this winter. He hasn\u2019t helped his free agency case much this season, and now the Mets are being predicted to cut ties with Peterson altogether.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More MLB on Heavy: Dodgers Announce \u2018Significant\u2019 Kike Hernandez News Before Rockies Game<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Mets Predicted to \u2018Pull Plug\u2019 on David Peterson<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5981502\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2273181829-e1777907847359.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"New York Mets Predicted to 'Pull the Plug' on $8.1 Million All-Star Amid Struggles\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5981502\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5981502\">GettyNEW YORK, NEW YORK \u2013 APRIL 29: Pitcher David Peterson #23 of the New York Mets returns to the dugout after being pulled from the game the fourth inning against the Washington Nationals at Citi Field on April 29, 2026 in the Queens borough of New York City. (Photo by Heather Khalifa\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Per a recent article for FanSided.com, MLB writer Zachary Rotman believes it\u2019s time to let go of David Peterson:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lefty struggled mightily down the stretch last season, and he\u2019s been just as bad, if not worse, so far this year. The southpaw has a 5.57 ERA through 12 appearances (seven starts) in 2026, and he\u2019s been even worse as a starter (7.56 ERA in seven appearances). He allowed six runs on 11 hits in five innings his last time out against a light-hitting Reds team. He\u2019s struggling to the point where the reeling Mets must make a change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Peterson was an All-Star for the first time in his seven MLB seasons in 2025, but finished the campaign with a 4.22 ERA across 168.2 innings, and was one of the main reasons down the stretch last season that the Mets collapsed in August and September. He\u2019s spent his entire career with the Mets, so there\u2019s some loyalty factor, but the experiment with David Peterson as a starter has to conclude soon.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Mets have tried to use an opener in front of Peterson, so he doesn\u2019t have to face the top of opposing teams\u2019 lineups as much, but even that hasn\u2019t worked. In his last 14 innings of work, Peterson has allowed nine earned runs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More MLB on Heavy: Atlanta Braves Star Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. Gets Concerning Words Amid Offensive Struggle<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>David Peterson\u2019s MLB Career<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_6048975\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png 1920w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=782,440 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=780,439 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=425,239 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=320,180 320w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MLB-Heavy-Thumbnail_20260527_092924_0003.png?resize=267,150 267w\" alt=\"New York Mets Predicted to 'Pull the Plug' on $8.1 Million All-Star Amid Struggles\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6048975\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-6048975\">GettyDavid Peterson #23 of the New York Mets walks off the mound after the sixth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field on May 26, 2026 in the Queens borough of New York City.
