"The Orioles have reunited with Andrew Kittredge, as the team announced that the right-hander has been acquired from the Cubs in exchange for cash considerations."
"While not mentioned in the Orioles' press release, it can be assumed that the O's will be exercising Kittredge's $9MM club option for the 2026 season rather than swinging a trade for the reliever just to buy him out for $1MM."
"More to come..."
The Orioles acquired right-hander Andrew Kittredge from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations. Kittredge returns to the Orioles organization, reuniting him with the club. Kittredge profiles as a relief pitcher and team control decisions center on his contract status. The Orioles are expected to pick up his $9 million club option for the 2026 season rather than elect a $1 million buyout. Exercising the option would keep Kittredge under club control through 2026 and suggests the team values his role in the bullpen. Additional roster or financial details may be announced later.
