The Cubs finalized the trade with the Yankees. The Cubs acquired INF Brendan Ryan as the player to be named later in the deal that sent INF Starlin Castro to New York for RHP Adam Warren.
At the time of the trade, multiple reports indicated Brendan Ryan would be the second player the Cubs received for Castro. The Cubs made it official Thursday and designated RHP Yoervis Medina for assignment to make room on the roster.
With Thursday’s moves, the Cubs’ 40-man roster stands at 40 players.
