The Minnesota Twins acquired starting pitcher Dean Kremer from the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, one day after grabbing relief pitcher A.J. Minter from the New York Mets.
Jhomnardo Reyes, an 18-year-old outfielder originally signed out of the Dominican Republic, went to the Orioles in exchange.
Kremer, who won’t qualify for free agency until after the 2027 season, missed more than 10 weeks because of a right quad strain and has put up a 6.50 ERA in seven starts this season. Over his past two outings, he has allowed a combined 14 runs in 10 innings. The Twins are hoping he can turn things around while providing depth to a rotation that is without Pablo Lopez, David Festa and Mick Abel.
