The Minnesota Twins have reportedly traded for veteran reliever A.J. Minter from the New York Mets ahead of the Aug. 3 MLB Trade Deadline. Minter, who has a 2.35 ERA this season and playoff experience from his time with the Atlanta Braves, is expected to bolster the Twins' bullpen as they vie for playoff contention. In exchange, the Mets receive prospects Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani. Amick, an infielder with notable power at Double-A, has hit 23 home runs this season, while Agbayani is a 19-year-old infielder with limited playing time due to injury. The Mets are anticipated to continue a selling strategy, moving other players as they rebuild for the future.
