(KTTC) – The New York Mets and the Minnesota Twins have come away with a major trade ahead of Monday’s trade deadline.
Sources with knowledge of the trade tells ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Mets have agreed to send left-handed reliever A.J. Minter to the Twins for two minor league players.
The Mets get in-fielders Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick in return.
Minter is slated to hit free agency this off-season.

According to reporting by ESPN, Minter is coming off of being sidelined during the 2025 season due to a muscle tear injury that required surgery.

The Twins are in third place in the American League Central, only three games back of the division leader, the Chicago White Sox.
But the Twins are not that far behind the Cleveland Guardians who are only two games back of the White Sox.
The Twins begin a 3-game series with the Seattle Mariners Friday night.
First pitch at T-Mobile Park is set for 9:10 p.m.
