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 bolster pitching staff with trades for Soroka, Kittredge
Adding reinforcements to the pitching staff has been a primary goal for Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer leading up to this year’s Trade Deadline. Chicago’s front office began to address that need on Wednesday night with a deal to land righty Michael Soroka from the Nationals.
The return for Soroka in the trade has yet to be revealed. Soroka was previously mentioned as a potential trade candidate.
The Cubs needed rotation help, and while Soroka isn't a top-end starter, he's an upgrade for the backend of their rotation.
