SEATTLE (AP) --- The Minnesota Twins acquired right-handed pitcher Dean Kremer
from the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night in exchange for minor league
outfielder Jhomnardo Reyes.
Kremer, 30, has a 6.50 ERA in seven starts this season. The seventh year
right-hander has gone 42-44 with a career 4.37 ERA in 133 games, all with the
Orioles.
To clear room for Kremer on the 40-man roster, the Twins transferred
right-handed pitcher Mike Paredes to the 60-day injured list. A corresponding
26-man roster move will be announced at a later date.
Kremer opened the 2026 season in the minors, one year after he led the Orioles
in wins, innings and strikeouts. Kremer went 11-10 with a 4.19 ERA while
striking out 142 batters over 171 2/3 innings last season. He also dealt with a
quad injury that sidelined him from mid-April until July.
Reyes, 18, is hitting .275 with seven home runs, 46 RBIs and 17 stolen bases in
216 plate appearances between the Twins' Rookie League affiliate and Single-A
Fort Myers. The Dominican Republic native spent all of the 2025 season in the
Dominican Summer League, and was originally signed by the Twins in January 2025.
