Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Tony Kemp has been released by the organization on Monday. Kemp decided to opt out of his deal with the Twins having a strong showing in the minors. Kemp is slashing .279/.358/.436 through 46 games with Triple-A St. Paul. He has bounced around quite a bit since his time in Oakland. Kemp might land elsewhere as a depth option but it's hard to imagine him having fantasy value on any organization.
Jon Heyman of the MLB Network is reporting that infielder Tony Kemp has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Minnesota Twins. The veteran spent Opening Day with the Baltimore Orioles, but was recently let go in favor of top prospect Jackson Holliday. In his brief time with the Orioles, Kemp was hitless in nine at-bats. The veteran should provide solid depth for a Twins team that has lost infielders Royce Lewis (quadriceps) and Carlos Correa (side) to injuries early on in the season, but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
The Baltimore Orioles designated infielder/outfielder Tony Kemp for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the active roster for top prospect Jackson Holliday. Kemp got the start at second base for the Orioles in their win over the Red Sox on Tuesday, but now he's off the 40-man roster and could be with another organization before long. The 32-year-old was cut by the Cincinnati Reds at the end of spring training and only appeared in five games for Baltimore in the early going, failing to record a single hit in 10 plate appearances. If he's not claimed off waivers or traded, Kemp could wind up sticking around in the O's organization if he accepts an assignment to the minors leagues.
