But this article is not as much about our beloved Nationals as it is about a trade partner from last week in the Chicago Cubs. In return, the Nationals received a solid return including Christian Franklin and Ronny Cruz, and Cubs fans on social media were not happy with the return they gave the Nationals to acquire Soroka. While this is not necessarily an indictment on their front office, with Soroka going down in just his first start in a Cubs uniform earlier this week, Cubs fans now have to learn a harsh reality that Nationals fans already knew. Additionally, Cubs GM Jed Hoyer went as far to say that the deal is "not looking like a good bet." Hopefully for Soroka and the Cubs, he is able to rebound from a health perspective, but for now, Cubs fans will be left wondering what if, and that is a tough pill of reality to swallow.
