The Twins have signed veteran Tony Kemp to a minor league deal, adding him to the organization's depth amid infield injuries.

By the Numbers
  • Kemp hit .209/.303/.304 in 419 plate appearances with Oakland in 2023.
  • He holds a career batting line of .237/.324/.351 with a 10.1% walk rate and 13.3% strikeout rate.
Yes, But

Kemp's performance in 2023 was subpar, but he was a solid contributor for the A's from 2020-22.

State of Play
  • The Twins have faced infield injuries, including losing star third baseman Royce Lewis and shortstop Carlos Correa to strains.
  • Current utility players Willi Castro and Kyle Farmer have taken on more regular roles due to the injuries.
What's Next

Kemp will likely start in Triple-A St. Paul before potentially contributing to the Twins' infield depth in the majors.

Bottom Line

The Twins' addition of Kemp provides a seasoned player to bolster their infield options amidst ongoing injury challenges.
