Rumors have been linked to the Chicago Cubs’ Starlin Castro for a few seasons now and the rumors probably hit its peak in the off-season when the New York Mets seemed to be very anxious to acquire the talents of the Cubs’ All-Star shortstop.
The trade talks between the Cubs and the Mets seemed to be at a point where something was eventually going to happen, but it never happened. Who’s the reason for that?
Well, it is hard to know, probably you could say a little of both. The Mets were trying to underpay for a player they really wanted but at the same time, not wanting to part with any of their highly touted pitching prospects.
