The Cubs have traded veteran reliever Andrew Kittredge back to the Orioles, barely over three months after they acquired him from Baltimore at the trade deadline.
In the latest deal, the Cubs received cash considerations, the team announced Tuesday. Kittredge, on a one-year deal worth $9 million in 2025, has a $9 million club option for next season.
Kittredge was one of four players the Cubs acquired at the trade deadline this year. The Cubs sent minor-league infielder Wilfri De La Cruz to the Orioles in the trade.
Kittredge posted a 3.32 ERA with the Cubs down the stretch. He tallied five saves as a major part of the Cubs’ closer-by-committee setup after right-hander Daniel Palencia landed on the injured list.
In the playoffs, Kittredge appeared in every game of the wild-card series against the Padres, twice in relief and once as the Game 2 opener. He pitched twice in the five-game NL Division Series against the Brewers. In all, he allowed three runs in five innings.
The Cubs still have time to extend a qualifying offer to Imanaga.
