The New York Mets traded reliver LHP A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins for prospects Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick.

Agbayani is the Twins number 29th ranked prospect and the son of former Met outfielder Benny Agbayani. He has played shortstop and second base in the minor leagues and has spent his whole career in low-Single A. This year he's hit .266 with an OPS of .753 in 10 games, but his season was set back by an injury in May.

Amick is the Twins 21st ranked prospect and has played third base and first base. He is hitting .217 with 23 homers and an OPS of .820 in 86 games in Double-A.

Minter was hurt most of last year with a lat injury, but has pitched well in his return this season with a 2.35 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 23 appearances this season.
