I think we will wind up dealing Castro for some pitching later in the year. What are we doing at second base though? Russell will be the everyday shortstop and we could move Castro to second for a while.
I don't think Castro moves - would be too tough to make that transition in season without him ever playing there before. His status depends on what they think of Russell - they are going to try him at 3rd in AAA to see what it looks like - he is the better defensive SS, though, and Castro will be dealt before Russell if they think Addison can hit in the bigs. I don't know if it will be this year, though, unless they get a sweet deal - which they haven't gotten yet. There were a bunch of rumors that they were looking to get young pitching from the Mets for Castro in the offseason, but nothing came of it, and what I read was that Epstein wasn't getting the value he expected for Castro, even though he is still really young and on a great contract.
Baez is still the 2B of the future - in the meantime, TLS is young and serviceable, same with Mendy, until they figure out if Baez can fix his Ks.
