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 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."

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.
