The Nats sign... not an ace
Briefly

Michael Soroka was a top prospect and had a solid rookie season with a 2.68 ERA, but has since struggled with injuries and inconsistency, totaling only 18 starts across five years.
While Soroka showed improvement in his previous season, his concerning walk rate of 5.0 BB/9 and increased fly ball percentage hint at potential struggles ahead, reflecting a different pitcher than when he was at his peak.
The Nationals surprised by having a pitching staff that didn't walk batters and minimized home runs, reminiscent of the type of success Soroka experienced in his early career.
Michael Soroka represents a gamble for the Nationals; with cautious optimism, he could potentially aid their rotation if he doesn't need to be the primary or secondary ace.
