The Minnesota Twins are adding rotation depth ahead of Monday’s trade deadline. Minnesota is acquiring right-hander Dean Kremer from the Baltimore Orioles, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. The move comes as the Twins push to stay above .500 and add pitching help down the stretch, though it lands at an odd time for Kremer, whose value has cratered amid a rough 2026 season.
The full return heading back to Baltimore has not yet been disclosed.
Kremer, 30, has struggled badly this year, posting a 6.50 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with a 1-4 record through just seven starts. His season was further complicated by a significant right quadriceps strain that sidelined him for nine weeks, an injury that limited him to only two starts before the layoff and briefly pushed him to Triple-A Norfolk for the first time since 2021, a stint that ended when he was optioned out of Baltimore’s crowded rotation entirely.
