Chicago Cubs acquired Brendan Ryan to complete deal with the Yankees, why?

If there is one thing the Chicago Cubs have, it’s depth at second base/shortstop. Between Addison Russell, Ben Zobrist, Javier Baez, Tommy La Stella and even Chris Coghlan, the Cubs have more than enough players worthy of starting at the two positions.

With that being said, the team’s official Twitter account reported that infielder Brendan Ryan was revealed as the player to be named later, completing the deal which sent Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees.

At age 33, Ryan is not getting any younger.
