For another offseason, the debate to trade or not to trade Starlin Castro surrounds the Chicago Cubs and their front office. The young all-star seemed to be on his way out of Chicago last offseason when rumors of the New York Mets being in the forefront of those rumors to acquire the services.
The Mets had a need and a surplus of young pitching, the Cubs had a need for young pitching and a surplus of young infielders – it seemed like a perfect match for any general manager, but any trade involving Castro fell through for whatever reason.
