Cubs’ Bold Pitching Moves: Could Soroka and Kittredge Be the Game-Changers This Season?
As the trade deadline loomed, the Chicago Cubs made a savvy move to tighten their pitching arsenal by bringing in right-handers Michael Soroka and Andrew Kittredge from the Nationals and Orioles, respectively. These acquisitions aren’t just about patching holes; they’re about adding seasoned firepower to a rotation that’s been itching for consistency.
It’s a fascinating shuffle—Washington parted ways with minor league infielder Ronny Cruz and outfielder Christian Franklin to snag Soroka, while Baltimore welcomed minor league infielder Wilfri De La Cruz in exchange for Kittredge. Soroka, who dazzled as an All-Star back in 2019 with Atlanta, carries a 3-8 record and a 4.87 ERA this season but brings depth and potential stability behind starters like Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga.
