Cubs acquired RHP Jake Arrieta from the Orioles in the Scott Feldman trade. Arrieta has a 5.46 ERA over 358 innings in the majors, but the Cubs were happy to take a chance on his upside.

The 27-year-old right-hander has a 7.23 ERA in five starts in the majors this season and a 5.50 ERA in six starts and one relief appearance in Triple-A, but the Orioles aren't considering changing his role yet.
