The New York Mets traded reliever A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins on July 31, 2026. This move may indicate an ongoing selloff by the struggling Mets as the August 3 trade deadline approaches. Minter has a 2.35 ERA in 23 games this season and has shown to be a reliable left-handed option for the Twins, who are close to a Wild Card spot. The Twins now boast a strong left-handed bullpen with Minter joining Taylor Rogers and Kody Funderburk behind closer Yoendrys Gomez.
