CUBS ADD ANDREW KITTREDGE
The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Andrew Kittredge from the Baltimore Orioles for infielder Wilfri De La Cruz.
What does it give the Chicago Cubs
With the Cubs, Kittredge has a chance to pitch in high-leverage situations. He might even emerge as the team closer down the stretch. He is a veteran arm with plenty of experience, so he should help Chicago.
What does it give the Baltimore Orioles
With the Orioles disappointing in 2025, they seem to be selling off several pieces before the trade deadline. In exchange for Kittredge, the O's get back a young infielder with promise in the form of De La Cruz. He is only 17, so patience is key.
Fantasy impact
Kittredge could be an intriguing option in many fantasy leagues down the stretch. He should be work a look, if available. As for De La Cruz, he is a promising young infielder who should be on the keeper-league radar. However, he is years away from fantasy prominence.
