明尼苏达双城队与纽约大都会队完成交易，获得左手救援投手A.J. Minter[1]。双城队为此送出两名小联盟内野手Bruin Agbayani和Billy Amick[1]。
Minter本赛季防御率为2.35，23局投球中斩获20次三振仅2次保送[1]，将补强双城队的牛棚阵容。双城队救援投手群本赛季防御率为4.92，在大联盟排名倒数第五[1]。Minter与大都会队签订两年2200万美元合同，将在2025年生效[1]。
作为交易筹码的Agbayani是前大都会球星Benny Agbayani之子[1]，今年在低A级联赛10场比赛中打击率为.268[1]。Billy Amick则是2024年二轮秀，本赛季在双A级联赛86场比赛中打击率为.217，击出23支本垒打[1]。双城队目前是美联外卡争夺者，交易截止日为周一[1]。大都会队目前战绩排名国家联赛倒数第二，有意在交易截止日前进行多笔交易[1]。
The Minnesota Twins have traded for left-handed reliever A.J. Minter from the New York Mets, sending minor league infielders Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick to the last-place National League club.[1] Minter carries a 2.35 ERA this season with 20 strikeouts and just 2 walks across 23 innings pitched.[1] The acquisition aims to strengthen the Twins' relief pitching, which currently ranks fifth-worst in the majors with a 4.92 ERA.[1]
Minter is under contract with the Mets through 2025 on a two-year, $22 million deal.[1] The Twins, positioned as a Wild Card contender in the American League, are making the move ahead of Monday's trade deadline.[1] Agbayani, the son of former Mets star Benny Agbayani, batted .268 in 10 games at low-A level this season, while Amick, a 2024 second-round draft pick, posted a .217 average with 23 home runs over 86 games at double-A.[1] The Mets continue seeking additional trades as they operate from the second-worst record in the National League.[1]
