NEW YORK (AP) — Left-hander A.J. Minter and the New York Mets finalized a two-year contract on Thursday.
Minter can opt out after the 2025 World Series and become a free agent again.
The 31-year-old, coming off left hip surgery, has spent his entire eight-year major league career with the NL East rival Atlanta Braves, going 24-29 with a 3.28 ERA and 36 saves in 384 appearances — all in relief.
He was 5-4 with a 2.62 ERA and one save in 39 games last year, striking out 35 and walking 11 in 34 1/3 innings before season-ending surgery in August.
