The Seattle Mariners announced on Tuesday morning that they have traded Yoervis Medina to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Wellington Castillo. Medina had been pitching for the Tacoma Rainiers after his recent demotion from the M’s, and Castillo was serving as the Cubs’ 3rd string catcher.
Wellington Castillo became expendable in Chicago after they acquired Miguel Montero this past offseason.
