Minter has been one of the game's more reliable lefty setup arms during his career. Between 2020-23, he combined for a 2.89 earned run average while striking out more than 30% of opposing hitters in more than 200 innings.
His platform year was a little more questionable. He still managed good numbers, turning in a 2.62 ERA with a solid 26.1% strikeout rate despite being limited to 39 appearances due to left hip issues.
The relief market has moved slowly. Boston's $10.75MM deal with Aroldis Chapman is one of four eight-figure reliever contracts thus far, showing the cautious approach teams are taking this offseason.
Minter could be ready early in the year, so the injury should not be too detrimental to his market. However, it may limit him to two years when he seemed on track for a three-year pact earlier in 2024.
