The Twins just pulled off a bullpen upgrade, acquiring veteran A.J. Minter from the Mets to bolster their late-inning depth as they chase postseason glory. Minter’s solid 2.35 ERA and 20 strikeouts this season make him a perfect fit. To make room, they optioned struggling pitcher Zebby Matthews, reinstated and sent down Garrett Acton (who hasn’t pitched since April), and DFA’d Cody Laweryson—potentially a trade chip. With a hot streak on the horizon and manager Derek Shelton lining up a strong lineup against the Mariners, this move signals serious intent to lock in wins down the stretch.
