Minnesota Twins add reliever A.J. Minter and pitcher Dean Kremer
The Minnesota Twins acquired left‑handed reliever A.J. Minter from the New York Mets in exchange for minor‑league infielders Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick. Minter, 32, posted a 2.35 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP over 23 innings this season and will carry roughly $3.5 million of salary into the stretch run, becoming a free agent after the season.
The Twins also obtained right‑hander Dean Kremer from the Baltimore Orioles for minor‑league outfielder Jhomnardo Reyes. Kremer, 30, is 1‑4 with a 6.50 ERA in seven starts this year and has a career record of 42‑44 with a 4.37 ERA. Both moves add about $5 million in payroll and give the Twins additional depth in the bullpen and rotation as they sit 3½ games behind the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central and a half‑game back of Cleveland for the wild‑card spot.
