"Despite Kremer's reliability, he was optioned to the minors for the first time since 2021, as the O's signed free agents and traded for new players, locking in other pitchers for the rotation."
"The way it plays out could impact Kremer from a career perspective, which could also be notable for the club, as he is 60 days shy of the five-year mark for service time."

Kremer has been a reliable part of the rotation, pitching 599 1/3 innings with a 3.95 ERA from 2022 to 2025. He was optioned to the minors at the start of 2026 due to roster changes.
