Orioles Re-Acquire Reliever Andrew Kittredge in Trade with Chicago Cubs

On Nov 4, 2025, the Chicago Cubs traded right-handed reliever Andrew Kittredge back to the Baltimore Orioles for cash considerations and minor-league infielder Wilfri De La Cruz.
Earlier this year Kittredge signed with Baltimore on a $9 million contract that included a $9 million option or $1 million buyout for 2026, and he began the 2025 season there before the July 31 trade deadline.
Kittredge appeared in every wild-card series game and made five playoff appearances, allowing three runs in five innings while striking out 77 batters and posting a 0.98 WHIP in 71.2 innings.
Immediate impact: the Orioles gain bullpen depth and are expected to exercise Kittredge's $9 million club option for 2026, using him while Félix Bautista recovers from shoulder surgery.
The rapid return of Andrew Kittredge barely over three months after the July 31 trade deadline leaves the Cubs needing a bullpen remake this offseason with several free agents.
