The Chicago Cubs are chasing the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central. They made some additions at the deadline, but one has not worked out so far.

The Chicago Cubs made a risky move when they traded for starting pitcher Mike Soroka ahead of last week's deadline, and that risk may not have paid off.

The Cubs had extensive conversations about right-hander Michael Soroka’s drop in velocity before acquiring him at the trade deadline, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Tuesday. They were well aware of his injury history.
