The brief

The New York Mets have traded David Peterson to the Chicago Cubs. In exchange for the struggling lefty, the Mets are acquiring Mathis, an infield prospect from the Cubs.

Coverage from MLB.com, ESPN, and The New York Times emphasizes the Cubs' need for pitching arms. Meanwhile, Yahoo Sports characterizes the move as the start of a "fire sale" for the Mets, though SNY reports that the trade does not represent a total summer sell-off or surrender.

Future developments depend on the integration of Peterson into the Cubs' rotation and Mathis into the Mets' organization. Coverage does not specify the exact terms of the players' remaining contracts.
