Report: Orioles, Kittredge agree to 1-year, $10M deal

The Baltimore Orioles are bringing in reliever Andrew Kittredge on a one-year, $10-million contract, a source told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Kittredge's pact reportedly includes a club option worth $9 million for 2026.

The 34-year-old authored a 2.80 ERA with 1.13 WHIP and 67 strikeouts over 70 2/3 innings last season for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Kittredge also finished in the 100th percentile for chase percentage, according to Baseball Savant.

The right-hander's best campaign came as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021. He finished the year with a 1.88 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 9.7 K/9 across 57 appearances en route to an All-Star appearance.
