Left-hander A.J. Minter and the New York Mets have finalized a $22 million, two-year contract. Minter can opt out after the 2025 World Series and become a free agent again.

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.

Minter is the second addition for the Mets this week, with the club bringing back DH/OF Jesse Winker on a one-year deal Thursday.

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 addition occurred a day after the Mets, moving forward with their offseason plan with the belief Pete Alonso will sign elsewhere, reunited with Jesse Winker on a one-year contract worth $7.5 million. Tanner Scott, who is regarded as the top reliever on the free-agent market, met with club officials earlier this month.
