## Summary

The Mets are exploring ways to rebuild their bullpen, with reports that they have checked in on left-handed reliever A.J. Minter. The move comes as the club prioritises improving its starting rotation but has several bullpen vacancies after trading away multiple relievers at the deadline.

Minter posted a 2.35 ERA in 23 appearances for New York in 2026 before being traded to Minnesota, where he recorded a 2.78 ERA in 25 games. The Mets have also shown interest in free agents Alex Vesia and Tim Hill, and expect Kodai Senga to prepare for a return to starting in spring training. They have already re-signed right-hander Robert Stock on a one-year deal.
