Overview

  • 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.
