The Chicago Cubs are considering José Soriano, an Angels pitcher, as a potential trade acquisition. Soriano, who has shown a mix of strong performances and struggles this season, started 2026 with a 0.84 ERA before experiencing difficulties in May and June. He has rebounded in July with a 2.74 ERA across four starts. Soriano, who has two years of team control remaining, would cost the Cubs less than $1 million in contract terms. The Angels are reportedly interested in acquiring a young catcher from the Cubs' system, possibly Owen Ayers.
