Castro had 'clutch hits' in the 2015 postseason with the Cubs and 2017 postseason with the Yankees.

No reason to trade Castro for nothing except that Maddon didn't want his guy Zobrist looking over his shoulder, and Theo caved instead of holding onto a very good asset.

Castro was traded for Stanton. Castro was traded for Warren.

One deal is better than the other.

Say whatever you want about Zobrist, but he's clutch. I dont think Castro is at this stage at his career.

Castro in 2016 does not get clutch game winning hits in the playoffs and WS like Zobrist did.


Baez and Russell had clutch hits too. Bottom line is the Cubs were raped multiple times by the Yankess and this was easily the most brutal.

Castro was traded for the "right" to pay something like $260M to Stanton. It's not like Stanton has the same contract as Warren.

Dodgers need to get under the luxury tax. Cubs should trade Schwarber for the right to pay Kershaw $35 million next season.

Rumor is Castro to be traded by Marlins.

Of course he is. I will bet on the Mets, maybe for Matt Harvey.

Castro was traded for possibly the best power hitter in the game. Castro was traded for a middling pitcher who would have been at best a 5th starter or a 6th inning guy.

FTFY.

Starlin the Marlin. It has a marketable ring to it.
