Great lefty masher. Not sure if Shaw is on the bench or if Castro is just playing a utility role here. I doubt they would bench Shaw imo
Someone tell me how to feel
Starter is next, Joe Ryan. Twins are committing to a rebuild
Better than Berti lol
Love it, he was my preferred bench bat.
As a Twins fan I’m pleased about this one! Willi is a switch hitter with experience all over the field, particularly at 2nd, 3rd and shortstop. Happy to have him on the Cubs!
Which prospects
Is this good or bad that this isn’t packaged with Joe Ryan? Are they still in on him?
Great trade, however we need pitching. Please tell me that’s next.
It’s something. I guess.
Love it, much needed help on the bench. Drastically better option than Brujan
Love Willie Castro. Good defense, Can play short or third. Switchy, mashes lefties. Just sucks he is a rental.
Talkin’ Baseball loves him, sounds good to me
Great pickup, love it. He can play all over the diamond and PH for any of the lefties we have, even has some CF in him. He’s a MASSIVE upgrade over Brujan, and makes Berti gloriously expendable.
I’m actually good with this if he replaces Turner
I like it. Team really needed a utility guy since there are just no options behind Swanson, Hoerner, and Shaw. Plus he can play the outfield too. They needed a guy like this with how bad Berti and Brujan are.
I’ll take it. Now stay on the phone with Minnesota and get Ryan
About the best bench we could have gotten. Everyone else was too good to be a bench bat or not good enough
Cabrera too
Like the depth move, he’s an upgrade over Brujan and Turner, can play a multiple infield/outfield positions and can hit dongs, too.
So long Berti/Turner
Fine
The last Castro we had was a pretty solid player for us
Willi was my #1 bench/util bat target. Any word on the return? Now go get a horse, Jed!!
Ya’ll are fast. His Wikipedia page is already updated.
Big upgrade on Brujan here! Still need a starter at least but this is great
Still need another starter
Everyone expected the Cubs to make a major splash at the trade deadline. Instead they barely made a ripple.

How many innings can he pitch?
