I will soon find out if I am in the minority here or not, but I think the Cubs could fill a much needed void if they dealt Castro.
He is tied to a modest contract, plays mediocre defense at best, deals with mental lapses on the field, and the rest of the league knows he is considered a core piece for the Cubs.
The Cubs have Alcantara in AA Tennessee and Baez at A+ Daytona, so it isn't as if they don't have a couple of shortstops in the system. I know neither play a stellar defense, but Castro doesn't either.
Stephen Drew would be available next year and his defense is far superior and has made 1 error in 159 total chances. That is pretty stout, and he probably could be tied to a 2 year deal.
I guess where I am going with this is maybe the quickest way to get some players needed on this team, the brass might have to deal someone deemed of having value for the Cubs and between Rizzo or Castro, I would choose Castro.
Surely he would have to net a fair package in return from some team.
Any thoughts?
