The Cubs picked up a useful fifth starter rental in Dan Haren for two guys nobody has ever heard of from the minor league system. Good deal for the Cubs.
They are still rumored to be in discussions for Carlos Carrasco of the Indians and Tyson Ross of the Padres. Also rumors of a three-team trade between the Cubs, Padres, and Red Sox. Castro must be part of these talks, but it is hard to figure on their acquiring another pitcher unless they flip Haren in the deal. The Padres have muddied the waters, according to reports by insisting suitors pick up Gyorko's massive contracts. Gyorko is even worse than Castro, so that's not likely to fly with the Cubs anyway.
