Last offseason, the Yankees acquired Castro from the Cubs for Adam Warren and Brendan Ryan. Ryan was immediately designated for assignment, and Warren was acquired in the Aroldis Chapman trade about seven months later, so the Yanks essentially got Castro for nothing. At the time of the trade, I was irrationally excited. After having to sit through Brian Roberts and Stephen Drew for the 2014 and 2015 seasons as the primary second basemen, it was exciting to have a player at the keystone who actually could hit.
