A.J. Minter Targets New Contract Following Solid 2026 Season

Reliever A.J. Minter enters the offseason targeting a one-year deal after a productive 2026 campaign split between two teams. Following surgery for a lat injury, Minter returned in May to post a 2.35 ERA in 23 games for the New York Mets. Traded to the Minnesota Twins on July 31 for Bruno Agbayani and Billy Amick, the 33-year-old left-hander finished the season with a 2.78 ERA and a 6.4% walk rate across his relief appearances.
