The New York Mets addressed their desperate need for backend bullpen help by signing veteran lefty reliever AJ Minter to a two-year, $22 million deal.
When healthy, Minter is one of the more consistent, reliable relievers in baseball. Since the start of the 2020 season, he has a 2.85 ERA across 243 innings pitched.
Injury history has not withheld president of baseball operations David Stearns from making some prominent swings to address areas of significant need.
Considering that Minter was ranked below Tanner Scott in the left-handed relievers' free-agent power rankings, obvious questions have arisen about why the Mets did not go all out for the former Baltimore Oriole.
