The Twins are looking poised to compete down the stretch.

On Thursday night, the Mets traded reliever A.J. Minter to Minnesota in exchange for two prospects, Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick. In 23 appearances for the Mets this season, Minter recorded a 2.35 ERA.

Earlier in the day, Kody Clemens hit a walk-off grand slam to complete a series win over the division rival Royals, leading the Twins into the final weekend before Monday’s trade deadline with a good feeling.

The Twins entered Friday third in the AL Central, three games behind the White Sox and one behind the Guardians — just one game back from a playoff spot.

“I think it’d be awesome if it was very dramatic just in the other direction. I think it’d be awesome to go get some real big key pieces here,” third baseman Royce Lewis said, referring to the Twins’ massive selloff a year ago.

“Anything you can add to this team, I think it’s going to be a boost emotionally for us on a team that’s already thriving and having so much fun in the clubhouse,” he continued.

One name swirling around trade rumors has been catcher Ryan Jeffers, one of the potential best available options for teams looking to upgrade their backstop. He’s on an expiring contract and could help Minnesota acquire more pitching options.

General manager Jeremy Zoll stated this week that the team’s goal is to add and not subtract.

“We’re going to focus on finding to continue to improve the bullpen and that’ll be a clear focus,” Zoll said. “Beyond that, we’re going to be open to a variety of creative paths, and you never know what might come about.”

That should please Lewis.
