Cubs sigb Zobrist, trade Starlin Castro to Yankees

[d2bets]

Quality in, garbage out. Theo making it happen.

[newguy]

Great move

[The Giant]

Who did they get for Castro?

[FlipsideRM]

Great move. Zobrist is a winner

[The Giant]

Sounds like Zobrist turned down more money elsewhere.

[smitch124]

I'm sure the Giants offered more, but I think he wanted to play the infield, the Giants wanted him in LF.

How much they pay for 35 year old

Who did they get for Castro?

Adam Warren! And PTBNL. Theo never ceases to amaze.

4/56. He turned down bigger offers.

Basically the opposite of Castro.

Zobrist from my area.
My girl used to date his brother
She said he is a douche bag

I guess the Shelby Miller trade fell through?

I just see he's now going to the Diamondbacks.

Soler too steep. This sequence is better. Cubs probably not done adding starting depth. Warren can slot either way. A lot to like about him. A few months ago the Cubs literally couldn't give Castro away. Now they unload him and get a legit arm in return.

[The Giant]

Soler too steep.

I thought I read it was for Baez.

Zobrist back with Maddon. Solid signing by the Cubs. Rays fans hated when they let him go, was an excellent all around player that could play just about any position.

[KingJD31]

Good deal then I guess

4/56. He turned down bigger offers.

I knew the Royals wouldn't pony up and pay to keep Zobrist.
Probably the same with Gordon.

Looks like DBacks gave the moon for Miller.

Guy is too old. Watch the numbers drop next year.

Based on what? He didn't show any signs of that. I don't see anything about his game that shouldn't age fine. He'll probably fall off in Years 3 and 4, but I don't see why he should have a big dropoff next season. Even when he drops off, he still has the super utility value. He makes contact and he's a winner. With all the guys getting contracts, he cost no picks or players, and he's a bargain.

[smitch124]

Even if he pulls a Scutaro and falls off at the end. I guarantee the Giants were happy to pay him for the championship he had a big hand in giving them.

Castro was due to make almost as much as Zobrist. Essentially the Cubs turned Castro into Zobrist and Warren.
