2-years, $12M. Castro is expected to play 2B.

Makes me a bit curious their plan for Kieboom. Adds credibility to any Kieboom for Bryant rumors.

"The Milwaukee #Brewers were one of the teams who were pursuing Starlin Castro before he agreed to 2-year, $12 million deal with #Nats, but he badly wanted to play for manager Davey Martinez and the Nats."

Cannot believe he's still only 29!

 

(Very glad he's not going to be our starting 3B...)

Good. Then he won’t be the brewers 3B because that would be very disappointing.

More disappointing than Sogard or Healy?

 

I'm not a Castro fan by any means, but we have to do better than what we currently have, right?

 

I think we trade for our opening day third basemen, plenty of time left.

Castro is a professional bat and would have been a nice addition at that price. Considering the numbers he put up surrounded by that Miami lineup Nats got a huge bargain.

The Brewers have probably kicked the tires on every single 3b at this point. I wonder how loose pursuing is being used.

 

He's a solid player. MKE doesn't pay market for solid.
