MLB trade deadline activity

Overview

Mid‑July coverage focused on the Boston Red Sox’s trade of third‑base star Rafael Devers and the New York Mets’ willingness to field offers on many roster pieces. By late July the Mets, sitting last in the NL East, began shedding assets. They traded reliever A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins for prospects Billy Amick (infielder, No. 21 in the 2025 class) and Bruin Agbayani (infielder, No. 29). The Twins also added right‑handed starter Dean Kremer from the Baltimore Orioles to bolster their rotation.

The Mets called up reliever Daniel Duarte, who posted a 0.00 ERA over 11 ⅓ innings, and continued to evaluate bullpen depth. Right‑hander Clay Holmes, who fractured his right fibula on May 15, was scheduled for a third High‑A rehab outing, expected to throw 70–75 pitches. Holmes, a 2.39 ERA starter with a $12 million 2027 option, said a trade was “pretty likely,” and the Mets’ interim manager Andy Green noted the rehab start could be adjusted if market interest intensified. These moves underscore the Mets’ clear intent to trade assets before the August 1 deadline as they rebuild their roster.
