Twins Acquire Minter From Mets

The Minnesota Twins traded prospects Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani to the New York Mets for left-handed reliever A.J. Minter. Minter, 32, has a 1-1 record with a 2.35 ERA in 23 appearances this season.

The 55-55 Twins acquired Minter to bolster their bullpen after Anthony Banda's season-ending injury, while the 47-63 Mets appear to be sellers at the trade deadline. Minnesota trails the Chicago White Sox by three games in the AL Central. milkshake.it.com
