​Good morning. We’re in “hug watch” season. There was one early trade last night as the Mets sent reliever A.J. Minter to the Twins for prospects Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani. Bruin is the son of former Met infielder Benny Agbayani, so you can see why they wanted him. And this means the Twins are buyers, at least for today. In another deal involving a reliever, the Angels sent reliever Chase Silseth and catcher Logan O’Hoppe to the Rangers for prospect third baseman Angel Arredondo. The Angels were criticized for their return on the deal as Arredondo was on no one’s list of top Rangers prospects. Angels interim general manager John Mozeliak defended the deal.
