Orioles trade for Andrew Kittredge from Cubs, reuniting with reliever

The Orioles’ first major move of the offseason is an unexpected reunion.

A few hours after manager Craig Albernaz’s introductory news conference, Orioles president of baseball operations acquired a reliever for his new skipper. The Orioles on Tuesday afternoon acquired Andrew Kittredge from the Chicago Cubs for cash considerations, reuniting with the veteran right-hander after they traded him away at the deadline a few months ago.

Kittredge has a $9 million club option for 2026 that the Orioles will presumably exercise — or come to an alternate agreement with the 35-year-old. The Orioles traded Kittredge to the Cubs in late July for then-17-year-old infield prospect Wilfri De La Cruz.

After posting a 3.45 ERA in 31 games in Baltimore, Kittredge pitched to a 3.32 ERA with the Cubs as a high-leverage reliever. He allowed three earned runs in five playoff innings for a Cubs team that was eliminated in the National League Division Series.

The Orioles signed Kittredge last winter to a one-year, $10 million deal with a club option for 2026. Over his nine-year career with the Tampa Bay Rays, St. Louis Cardinals, Orioles and Cubs, Kittredge has a 3.43 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He missed the first two months of the 2025 season with a knee injury, but he got better as the year progressed, striking out 39% of batters with the Cubs.
