Mets Eyeing Minter Trade Amidst Struggling Season
29 May
Summary
- Mets pitcher Minter could be traded despite injury history.
- He was signed to a two-year, $22 million contract in Jan 2025.
- Minter has been excellent when healthy, with a 1.50 ERA for Mets.
The New York Mets, holding a 23-33 record as of May 27, 2026, are reportedly considering trading pitcher A.J. Minter. Signed in January 2025 to a two-year, $22 million contract, Minter has had a difficult tenure, primarily due to injuries.
He was activated from the 60-day injured list on May 26, 2026, and made his 2026 debut with a scoreless inning. Minter has posted a 1.50 ERA in 14 appearances for the Mets since his signing, despite previous injury setbacks including lat surgery in 2025 and hip discomfort delaying his 2026 spring training ramp-up.
With Minter being a free agent after the 2026 season, his contract situation could appeal to potential acquiring teams. While interested clubs may want to see more solid appearances, his overall career ERA stands at 3.22. The Mets might look to acquire prospects for Minter, who could help a contending team in October.
