The Yankees hot stove is finally heating up. Last night the team traded Adam Warren and Brendan Ryan to the Cubs for infielder Starlin Castro. So let’s get to know the newest addition to the family.
Castro is 25 years old, turning 26 in March. He was the Cubs shortstop when he made his debut in 2010 until Addison Russell took over in 2015, at which point he shifted over to second base. He was called up in May 2010. During his first Major League at bat, facing off against Homer Bailey, he hit the ball into the seats.
