Key Points:
- The Mets have traded left-handed reliever A.J. Minter to the Twins in exchange for two infield prospects, Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani, the latter being the son of former Mets player Benny Agbayani.
- Minter, who signed a two-year, $22 million contract before the 2025 season, missed most of his first year with the Mets due to a lat injury but returned to pitch 34 innings with a 2.12 ERA and 3.35 FIP.
- Prospect Billy Amick, 23, was drafted by the Twins in the second round of 2024 and has shown power with 23 home runs in Double-A while playing first and third base.
- Bruin Agbayani, 19, has played in Single-A this season, demonstrating versatility across second base, third base, and shortstop, with a .268/.412/.342 batting line in limited plate appearances.
