Cubs’ Bold Pitching Moves: Could Soroka and Kittredge Be the Game-Changers This Season?
The Chicago Cubs bolstered their pitching staff ahead of the trade deadline by adding right-handers Michael Soroka from the Washington Nationals and Andrew Kittredge from the Baltimore Orioles.
Washington received minor league infielder Ronny Cruz and outfielder Christian Franklin in the Soroka trade. Baltimore got minor league infielder Wilfri De La Cruz in return for Kittredge.
An All-Star in 2019 with Atlanta, the 27-year-old Soroka is 3-8 with a 4.87 ERA this season for the Nationals, who signed him to a one-year, $9 million contract in the offseason. He should provide depth in the Cubs’ rotation behind Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga.
