Chicago Cubs acquire RHP Michael Soroka and add bullpen help in Andrew Kittredge
They made their first maneuver to address that part of the roster Wednesday night by acquiring right-hander Michael Soroka from the Washington Nationals, and they obtained 35-year-old reliever Andrew Kittredge from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday morning.
Cubs acquire Michael Soroka from Nationals in their first 2025 trade-deadline move
The Cubs are sending rookie-ball infielder Ronny Cruz, 18, and Triple-A outfielder Christian Franklin, 25, to Washington in the trade. Cruz and Franklin are the Cubs’ No. 13 and 14 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline.
The Cubs needed rotation help, and while Soroka isn't a top-end starter, he's an upgrade for the backend of their rotation.
Soroka wasn't the splashy addition Cubs fans were hoping for at the trade deadline, but he could end up playing an important role.
