Twins acquire Dean Kremer from Orioles ahead of trade deadline

The Minnesota Twins have finalized a trade to acquire starting pitcher Dean Kremer from the Baltimore Orioles, as confirmed by ESPN. This marks the Orioles' first trade ahead of the deadline, with the team receiving 18-year-old outfield prospect Jhomnardo Reyes in return. Kremer has struggled this season, posting a 6.50 ERA in seven starts, a notable decline from prior campaigns where he had ERAs around 4.12 to 4.19. The decision to trade Kremer comes shortly after a significant win for the Orioles, who are in contention for a wild card spot but are now left without a key rotation member for the rest of the season and potentially next season, as Kremer is nearing free agency.
