Share

The Chicago Cubs are bolstering their pitching staff. The team traded for Mike Soroka and Andrew Kittredge on Wednesday. Soroka spent the first half of the season with Washington. He’s 3-and-8 with a 4.87 ERA in 16 starts this season. Kittredge comes over from the Orioles, where he went 2-and-2 with a 3.56 ERA in 30 appearances out of the bullpen.

The Chicago Cubs finished reloading their roster by making a pair of trades ahead of the MLB trade deadline on Thursday. The Northsiders acquired Twins utility man Willi Castro, who was an All-Star in 2024. Chicago sent pitching prospects Ryan Gallagher and Sam Armstrong to Minnesota to complete the deal. The Cubs also sent outfield prospect Ivan Brethowr in a trade that brought Taylor Rogers to Chicago. Rogers was an All-Star in 2021. He’s 2-and-2 with a 2.45 ERA in 40 games this season. The new-look Cubs host the Baltimore Orioles for a 3-game set starting on Friday afternoon.
