As the New York Yankees continue their pursuit for a No. 2 starter, fans at this point know the options are limited. If we’re really going to boil it down, it’s probably between Cincinnati Reds’ Luis Castillo and Chicago Cubs’ Kyle Hendricks, both of whom will be very difficult to acquire in any trade.
But what we do know is that the Yankees at least had talks with the Reds about Castillo, during which Cincinnati reportedly asked for Gleyber Torres.
