Twins go all-in at deadline, add Kremer to deepen rotation and bullpen depth

The Minnesota Twins are aggressively upgrading at the MLB trade deadline, trading a rookie-league outfielder to Baltimore for Orioles starter Dean Kremer to bolster rotation depth and adding lefty reliever A.J. Minter from the Mets; the moves total about $5 million in payroll, with owner Tom Pohlad authorizing more, as Minnesota aims to shore up the bullpen and ease workload on rookie Connor Prielipp while pursuing a right-handed late-inning arm for the stretch run.
