Summary
New York sent lefty reliever A.J. Minter to Minnesota for infield prospects Bruin Agbayani, 19, and Billy Amick, 23, in the Mets' first clear deadline sell-off move.
Last-place New York is expected to keep dealing before Aug. 3, with starters Freddy Peralta and Clay Holmes and relievers Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley and Huascar Brazoban among possible trade candidates.
Minnesota gets an immediate bullpen upgrade from Minter, 32, as it pushes for its first playoff return since 2023.
Holmes already has outside interest: ESPN reported the injury-hit Dodgers could pivot to the 33-year-old if a bigger pursuit of Tigers ace Tarik Skubal does not materialize.
