THE CHICAGO CUBS TRADE FOR A WASHINGTON NATIONALS PITCHER… Not Named MacKenzie Gore!
The Nationals finally did it. They traded a pitcher to the Chicago Cubs, but it wasn’t McKenzie Gore, it was Michael Sroka. I’m Ryan Clary from Locked on Nationals. And the Nationals, one of their more significant moves at this year’s deadline has fallen. They have traded Michael Sroka, 27-year-old hurler, to the Chicago Cubs. And listen, again, we have not seen the return, but you took a one-year flyer on Michael Soka. He turned in a healthy report card. He looked okay. The numbers are better than or actually let me just say this. The performance was a lot better than what his numbers indicated. 487 erra this season. It was a lot better than that. He had a 332 expected erra. So the Nationals again getting any sort of talent out of a one-year deal. Someone who will not be here in the long term. Sign me up for that any single day. But again, the Cubs got their nationals pitcher just wasn’t the guy that they had thought.

Bad move
very bad move
Smh
bs!
Franklin is Mlb ready just was really blocked. The bat is a ?, Cruz is obviously years away but he's looked Very Very Good so far. He was drafted Rd 3 last year.
Pretty sure Cubs are gonna move him back to a Setup Man where he was Elite. Tho he has a projected 3.60 era on a team with Avg D and Cubs have great D so, who knows. The fact it came right after they lost out of Duran to me says he was their #2 ranked Closer type.
Two more sub-200 hitters added to a farm system loaded with them
We should’ve gotten a better arm that could get on the mound now
Anyone saying this is a bad move has no ability to properly judge the realistic trade value of our players. Soroka for anything of value is a plus, Soroka for two of their top 15 is a HR.
