Mets' Lefties Eye Championship Moves | New York Mets News

Two Mets lefties, Brooks Raley and A.J. Minter, are likely headed for trades before the deadline, both in final-year contracts and aware the team’s struggles make departure probable. Raley, 38, sports a 2.02 ERA; Minter, 32, a stellar 1.80. Minter, who’s never been on a selling team, vows to give his all until told otherwise, while Raley admits it’s not ideal but inevitable. Both crave championship contenders — Minter, a 2021 World Series champ, sees postseason as the ultimate reward; Raley, sidelined in 2024 by surgery, feels accountable for the team’s woes. Minter calls his Mets stint “sad” but transformative, lamenting missed World Series dreams in New York; Raley, who never expected four seasons here, praises his consistency and the Citi Field experience.
