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.

The Mets made it clear they wanted to improve their bullpen, and did so by snagging a key left-handed ex-Braves reliever.

NEW YORK (AP) — Turning their attention to the bullpen, the New York Mets have agreed with free agent left-hander A.J. Minter on a two-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.
