Twins Land Minter From Mets in Deadline Deal
Minnesota adds a veteran lefty reliever to bolster a bullpen that ranks fifth-worst in ERA this season.
The Twins acquired A.J. Minter from the Mets as part of a two-deal deadline buying spree. Minter, 32, carries a 2.35 ERA in 23 innings this year but a 4.01 FIP, with recent home run issues. He returned late last May from lat surgery that required him to reinvent his approach, shifting from a power fastball to a cutter-first style. He is expected to fill medium-to-high leverage left-handed relief roles alongside Andrew Morris and Yoendrys Gómez.
