Cubs Trade
SS Starlin Castro (9.14M 2019+)
D'Backs Trade
SS Chris Owings 3B Matt Davidson
Accept.
I'm very pleased with this trade. I've been waiting on a trade like this since the league started. Castro appeared he was going to assert himself as one of the best shortstops in the league, but since has taken a step back or two, still only 24 years old. I love Owings and Davidson with a passion. I think they could form something special. If things shake out my way, I think I could have the left side of the Arizona Infield for awhile. Prado to LF, Didi to the bench where he belongs.

I accept. I think/feel Castro is an elite SS. 2 time all star, and has all the tools to be my SS for years to come. Despite having an off year, I still think this deal benefits me more in the long run. Not too sure if Davidson and Owings, more Davidson, has enough to be starting players in the majors.
