Addison Russell on call up: 'I really wasn't expecting it'

PITTSBURGH — The Cubs don’t have a shortstop controversy.

That doesn’t guarantee Starlin Castro will be the everyday shortstop from here until 2020. Or that Addison Russell is the long-term answer at second base. Theo Epstein’s front office will make more blockbuster trades and sign some big-name free agents, because that’s how this business works.

Right now, all Castro cares about is winning, not fending off the latest challenger to his position or wondering where exactly he fits in the big picture.
