The Chicago Cubs on Wednesday acquired veteran right-handed pitcher Mike Soroka in a trade with the Washington Nationals.

Soroka, who turns 28 in a matter of days, is an impending free agent who started 16 times for the Nationals. He compiled a 4.87 ERA (82 ERA+) and a 3.63 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Soroka figures to join the Cubs rotation.
