MLB: Twins land Dean Kremer as Orioles keep selling

Two days before the deadline, Baltimore starts unloading

The Orioles moved Dean Kremer on Thursday, shipping the right-hander to Minnesota with the Aug. 3 trade deadline almost on top of them. Baltimore gets back Jhomnardo Reyes, an 18-year-old outfielder still finding his feet in the minors. Read it however you like. This is a team in sell mode.

For Kremer, it closes the only chapter he has ever known. Seven seasons in a Baltimore uniform, and now he packs up for the American League Central.

Let’s do it

Seven starts and a bad quad

The timing is not kind. Kremer has thrown just seven starts in 2026 after a right quad strain shelved him for a long stretch. He is 30, and this is the reset button.

Minnesota hands him a rotation spot and a change of scenery. The Twins are gambling that a veteran arm, even a rusty one, can steady them through the closing weeks.

The first domino

Expect company. When Baltimore starts trimming payroll and leaning on teenagers this early, the phone lines tend to stay busy. The hours before Aug. 3 could get loud.
