Orioles Acquire Cody Poteet from Cubs in Cash Trade

The Orioles address Triple-A pitching depth by adding the 30-year-old right-hander, who was optioned to Norfolk after being designated for assignment by Chicago.

• The Baltimore Orioles traded cash considerations to the Chicago Cubs to acquire right-hander Cody Poteet on March 29, 2025.
• Poteet, 30, was immediately optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to bolster the Orioles' depleted starting pitching depth caused by injuries to Trevor Rogers and Chayce McDermott.
• The Cubs designated Poteet for assignment after he allowed four runs in three spring training appearances this year.
• Poteet has made 24 major league appearances with a 3.80 ERA and posted a 3.92 ERA in 10 Triple-A starts last season with the Yankees’ affiliate.
• Recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2023, Poteet’s acquisition reflects the Orioles' focus on organizational depth early in the season.
