8/20/25	Willi Castro, Cubs look to take long series against Brewers. After making up two games of ground in a day against their National League Central rivals, the Chicago Cubs will look to take the five-game series against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.

8/05/25	New Cubs Star Willi Castro Shows Versatility, Matches Century-Old Record. Willi Castro was a coveted player at the trade deadline for his ability to hit right-handed and left-handed pitching, along with his versatility.

The Cubs gave up two minor league pitchers — right-handers Ryan Gallagher and Sam Armstrong — for the right to have Castro on the field for the next two months. On Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds, Castro started in right field and batted fifth in the order. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/new-cubs-star-wil...

According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic (subscription required), the Houston Astros have shown interest in both Arizona slugger Eugenio Suárez and Castro as they look to fill holes on a roster that has been ravaged by injuries. "Suárez may be the sexier name," Rome says, "but Minnesota Twins utilityman Willi Castro is also of interest to the Astros and a far better fit for their roster."

That sickening hypothetical would be possible if former MLB executive Jim Bowden's dream trade between the Twins and Dodgers comes to life.

Per New York Post's Jon Heyman, Castro is on the Twins' list of potential trade chips, and Seattle is among the teams showing interest. A pending free agent, Castro has quietly been one of Minnesota's most versatile and productive players, slashing .280/.379/.495 since mid-May while playing all over the diamond — including third base, where Seattle is desperate for a jolt.
