"It'll be exciting," Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. "He was here for a long time and did a lot of good things here. Obviously, he got traded to a great team, the Yankees, but part of him was part of that [Cubs] team last year that won a World Series. I'm sure he felt that."
It may be bittersweet for Castro to watch his current Yankees teammate Aroldis Chapman receive a ring on the field Friday. The Cubs acquired Chapman last July, and the closer was a big reason why they reached the World Series.
