Cubs Consider Trade for Luis Castillo

The Chicago Cubs have been active in the offseason, highlighted by acquiring slugger Kyle Tucker from the Houston Astros in a trade that involved sending Cody Bellinger to the New York Yankees. Speculation suggests further moves, including a potential trade of outfielder Seiya Suzuki to the Detroit Tigers, who need right-handed bats, for Spencer Torkelson and a top prospect. Meanwhile, the Cubs are also considering bolstering their pitching by acquiring Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners, who are seeking offensive talent. Castillo's addition could significantly strengthen the Cubs' rotation, making them more competitive in the National League Central. While the Cubs are in 'win-now' mode, retaining Tucker long-term is seen as a priority, with predictions of a lucrative contract extension following a stellar season. These strategic moves aim to position the Cubs for success in the upcoming seasons.
