Cubs Acquire Willi Castro, Taylor Rogers in Trades
The Chicago Cubs acquired utility player Willi Castro from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Double-A pitching prospects Ryan Gallagher and Sam Armstrong. Castro, 28, has played six positions this season, is a switch-hitter, and brings speed to the Cubs, having stolen 33 bases in 2023 and hitting 10 home runs so far in 2024. He was named the Twins' MVP in 2024 and is an impending free agent. Castro is expected to split time at third base, particularly as rookie Matt Shaw has struggled offensively, and fill multiple tactical roles. The Twins continue their deadline fire sale, trading away multiple key players. The Cubs also acquired left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers from the Pirates, sending outfielder Ivan Brethowr in return to strengthen their bullpen for a playoff run.
