July 31 (UPI) \u2014<\/strong> The New York Mets have agreed to send veteran reliever A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor league prospects Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick, according to a league source who spoke with UPI on Friday.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Minter has posted a 1-1 record and a 2.35 ERA across 23 appearances for New York this season. The 32-year-old right-hander has spent 10 seasons in the majors and owns a career 3.18 ERA over 420 appearances.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Braves selected Minter in the second round of the 2015 MLB Draft. He signed a two-year contract with the Mets during the previous offseason and later exercised an $11 million player option in November.<\/p>\n

Agbayani, 19, was selected by Minnesota in the sixth round of the 2025 MLB Draft. The 6-foot-2 infielder has batted .263 with 16 walks, three doubles, six RBIs and five stolen bases in his first 15 professional appearances. This season, he recorded a .268 batting average over 10 games with the Single-A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels.<\/p>\n
