The New York Mets have reached an agreement with free-agent lefty reliever A.J. Minter, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Minter is slated to make $22 million over a two-year term. He will have the ability to opt out and return to the free-agent market after the first season if he so desires.

On Friday afternoon, another familiar face found a new uniform to play in for 2025 (and potentially beyond), as LHP A.J. Minter signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the New York Mets. Andy Martino of SNY was the first to report the news and Joel Sherman of the New York Post was the first to deliver the details on the deal.

The next step in the Mets’ plans post-Pete Alonso is complete. The team signed reliever A.J. Minter to a two-year. $22 million contract on Friday, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed. The deal with the 31-year-old is pending a physical and has an opt-out after the first year.

NEW YORK — Jesse Winker and the Mets have agreed to a one-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday, perhaps a signal the team doesn’t expect to re-sign slugger Pete Alonso. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.
