NEW YORK (AP) — Left-hander A.J. Minter and the New York Mets finalized ... with owner Steve Cohen and president of baseball operations David Stearns now allotting resources elsewhere. Minter gets a $1 million signing bonus and a $10 million salary ...

The addition occurred a day after the Mets, moving forward with their offseason plan with the belief Pete Alonso will sign elsewhere, reunited with Jesse Winker on a one-year contract worth $7.5 million. Tanner Scott, who is regarded as the top reliever on the free-agent market, met with club officials earlier this month.

Aside from Minter, the Mets are set to enter spring training with Edwin Diaz, Reed Garrett, Dedniel Nunez, Jose Butto (provided he is not considered for starting duty) and Sean Reid-Foley as the top returning relief options. Huascar Brazoban and lefty Danny Young are others returning who could compete for jobs.
