MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Pat Murphy recently said it would be one of the saddest days in his Brewers tenure if the team had to trade Freddy Peralta but Wednesday, Jan. 21, it appears that is the case. 

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Brewers All-Star right-handed pitcher is dealt to the New York Mets. 

Top prospects in shortstop, Jett Williams, and pitcher, Brandon Sproat, are heading to Milwaukee. 

The Mets will also receive another major league pitcher Tobias Myers in the deal. 

Peralta is scheduled to make $8 million dollars in the final year of his contract. But a big payday looms, so the Brewers usually make deals before someone becomes a free agent.
