The Cubs acknowledged the risk they took trading for the now-injured Michael Soroka following a recent dip in velocity, saying it was a "good bet to make."

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.

Occasionally, MLB executives will acknowledge a deal didn't go their way. Some moves just don't work out and they can admit that. What you never see, though, is an executive publicly regret a deal less than a week after making it.
