Starlin Castro, the Yankees' talented but inconsistent second baseman, was on the chopping block this offseason, according to a report from the New York Post's Joel Sherman.
The report said the Yankees let teams know Castro was available. It added that the Yankees, too, were open to dealing third baseman Chase Headley and left fielder Brett Gardner. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has previously said offers for Headley and Gardner were unsatisfactory.
A few things:
1.) Not a total surprise: Castro wasn't a total bust last season.
