Orioles Option Right-Handed Starter Dean Kremer to Minors in Surprise Move
Baltimore's rotation trimmed to five with Zach Eflin securing final spot; Kremer, who led in innings and strikeouts last year, optioned to minor league camp.
- On Saturday, the Baltimore Orioles optioned right-handed starter Dean Kremer to minor league camp as the club trimmed its rotation to five pitchers.
- With rotation plans unsettled, Manager Craig Albernaz remained noncommittal as Zach Eflin won the final spot after strong spring outings, setting a five-man rotation including Rogers, Bradish, Bassitt, and Baz.
- Across recent seasons, Kremer went 11-10 with a 4.19 ERA over 171 2/3 innings last year and made three spring starts, including a scoreless WBC outing.
- As a result, Kremer will presumably start the season in Triple-A and the earliest he can rejoin the Orioles is April 9, providing short-term rotation depth.
- The decision surprised many because Dean Kremer led the Orioles in wins, innings and strikeouts last year despite Baltimore trimming seven MLB-caliber starters to a five-man rotation.
