Mets Trade for the Son of a Former Fan Favorite
The Mets, at 47-63, are expected to keep dealing before Monday’s deadline after sending left-handed reliever A.J. Minter to Minnesota.
- Late Thursday, the New York Mets traded left-handed reliever A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins, marking the opening move of the team's anticipated fire sale ahead of the August 3 deadline.
- The 47-63 Mets began selling assets as the deadline approaches; Minter, 32, departs with a 2.35 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 23 appearances, concluding his two-year, $22 million contract.
- In exchange, the Mets received prospects Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani. Amick, a 23-year-old corner infielder drafted in 2024, and Agbayani, 19, is the son of former major leaguer Benny Agbayani.
- The 55-55 Minnesota Twins addressed bullpen needs with this acquisition to bolster a potential postseason run, currently sitting three games back in the AL Central.
- Additional roster moves are expected before the August 3 deadline, with fellow relievers Brooks Raley and Freddy Peralta among the players likely to be dealt as the Mets continue their sell-off.
