After another whirlwind winter, Starlin Castro welcomes reunion with Cubs fans

Starlin Castro has been on a crazy ride the last few years.

The Cubs dealt Castro — the former face of the franchise — to the New York Yankees following the 2015 season to make room in the infield and lineup for Ben Zobrist, who wound up taking home World Series MVP honors 11 months after signing.

Castro missed a World Series ring with the Cubs by a year and now he finds himself in similar circumstances again in Miami. The 28-year-old second baseman was traded to the Marlins as collateral for the Giancarlo Stanton megadeal in December and is now in the midst of a full-on tear-down in South Beach.
