Castillo starting to show some signs this year, but 20-year-old at short season low A. Long way off.Brett Taylor added,

Smith is a side arm guy which i remember Maddon suggesting he liked. So, guess that was the reasoning behind this. Castillo isn't a huge prospect but he pitched well this year. He was the highest upside guy in the 2 players the cubs dealt Campana for.

Puig was told he would be traded or demoted to AAA. He flipped out and left Dodger Stadium. He is not on the team flight.

Well, acording to Cubs GM, he has a different angle of attack, is a different (ground ball) pitcher than what is in the bullpen currently. 》Shrugs 《

Smith sucks, but we didn't give up anything for him. It's a throw-away deal.

I read where I think his wife or mother is ill and lives in Cincinnati.
So, the Angels were looking for a team close to Cincinnati to move him too..

I wouldn't make this trade a big deal one way or other
He won't be on playoff roster
