Twins Acquire Minter From Mets

The Twins sent two prospects to the Mets in return: third baseman Billy Amick and infielder Bruin Agbayani.

Minter, 32, has a 2.35 ERA in 23 appearances this season and provides much-needed left-handed depth for Minnesota's bullpen, which was affected by Anthony Banda's season-ending injury. The trade signals the Mets' expected sale at the deadline, while the 55-55 Twins continue their push for the postseason, trailing the White Sox by three games in the AL Central. macnevers-and-co.beer
