4/06/25	Mets Notebook: Dedniel Nuñez still building up in Triple-A, Luis Torrens out Sunday. While Dedniel Nuñez continues to get work down in Triple-A, the Mets bullpen has been just fine without him to start the season. The five earned runs given up by the Mets' relief corps through the first eight games of the season are the fewest allowed in the league (2-0, 1.47 ERA). Left-handers A.J. Minter and Danny Young have each allowed two, and right-handed long man Jose Butto has allowed one. Right-hander Huascar Brazobán has thrown 7 1/3 scoreless innings and Max Kranick, another righty, has pitched 5 2/3 without allowing a run to start his first big league campaign since 2022.

An inning later, he joined Gary Cohen and Todd Zeile on the SNY broadcast and said that while he feels great, he is not yet ready to say whether he will be ready for Opening Day.

LUCIE — If A.J. Minter can take away anything positive from the left hip problems that ultimately led to surgery last summer, it's that he learned how to pitch beyond just overpowering hitters. It was midway through the 2023 season when Minter realized something had to change. The lefty reliever was struggling for the Braves, with his fastball velocity lagging.

Minter, who joined the Mets on a two-year, $22 million, underwent hip surgery last summer.

At the start of 2025, he got engaged, and later in January, he left his lifelong team, the Atlanta Braves, for their rival on a two-year deal. Minter has increased his pitch count to about “20ish,” and he plans on throwing about four more bullpens before graduating to facing hitters.

1/27/25	Mets have plenty of options to make another bullpen addition. The Mets likely are not finished adding to their bullpen this winter. After signing A.J. Minter this month, team officials are still evaluating the market with the idea that there is room for an additional high-leverage reliever, according to an industry source, and options are somewhat plentiful. Minter arrived on a two-year deal worth $22 million — the only significant money the Mets have spent on the bullpen this winter — to help fill the pressing need for a left-hander.

Minter to a two-year, $22 million contract. This signing made a ton of sense for the Mets, who were in desperate need of a left-handed reliever this offseason. While the 31-year-old missed much of the 2024 season due to several injuries, he still produced a very solid 2.62 ERA and 35 strikeouts over 39 appearances (34.1 innings pitched) when he was available for Atlanta.
