July 31 (UPI) -- The New York Mets agreed to trade relief pitcher A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor league prospects Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick, a league source told UPI on Friday.
Minter was 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA through 23 appearances this season for the Mets. The 10-year veteran has a 3.18 ERA through 420 career appearances.
Minter, 32, was a second-round pick by the Atlanta Braves in the 2015 MLB Draft. He joined the Mets on a two-year pact last off-season. He exercised an $11 million player option in November.
Agbayani, 19, was a sixth-round pick by the Twins in the 2025 MLB Draft. The 6-foot-2 infielder hit .263 with 16 walks, three doubles, six RBIs and five stolen bases through the first 15 minor league appearances of his career. He hit .268 through 10 appearances this season for the Single-A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels.
