Mets Sign A.J. Minter to Two-Year, $22 Million Deal

The left-handed reliever departs the Braves after eight seasons, joining a Mets bullpen bolstered by aggressive offseason spending.

A.J. Minter, 31, signed a two-year, $22 million contract with the New York Mets, pending a physical, with an opt-out option after the 2025 season.
Minter spent his entire eight-year MLB career with the Atlanta Braves, posting a 3.28 ERA and 422 strikeouts in 348 2/3 innings.
The lefty reliever is known for his postseason effectiveness, with a 2.88 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 25 playoff innings across 20 appearances.
In 2024, Minter recorded a 2.62 ERA in 39 games despite being limited by a hip injury that required surgery and ended his season in August.
The Mets continue their aggressive offseason moves, adding Minter to a bullpen anchored by Edwin Diaz, following major signings like Juan Soto and Frankie Montas.
