—Twins righthander Bob Tewksbury to the Rangers, who need a more reliable starter than Darren Oliver for the stretch drive.

—Orioles second baseman Roberto Alomar to the Indians—where brother Sandy may get Robbie out of his funk—for infielder Enrique Wilson and minor league pitcher Willie Martinez.
