This article by Sullivan just went up a few hours ago. I'm not thrilled with Castillo, but he fills a hole at 2nd and adds some speed at the top.

Really, just getting rid of Bradley would make this deal successful.

I found this article by Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch more than a little amusing. In explaining the Cards lukewarm interest in Jason Bay largely due to "a greater reliance on defensive metrics" Strauss also mentions two possible trade targets: Adam Dunn and Josh Willingman.

Apparently their interest in defense only applies to free agents, not trades.

If you want to read Cardinals fans being entirely irrational, go here and read the comments section:

Anyhow, the link is to Nightengale's twitter account (h/t mlbtr) where he says the Rays are the "clear-cut favorite" on Bradley. He also notes that the Yankees might be shopping Swisher.

As for the former, nothing new. As for the latter, it's another name to ponder. Not ideal, but who's ideal (even Granderson isn't "ideal"). As noted, I'd rather land a CF and move Fukudome to RF, but all options should be kept open. He could potentially add some lineup "depth", and if the Cubs let Derrek Lee walk after 2010, he could potentially be a stopgap option at first (that said, I think a big year from Lee, and the Cubs extend him for another couple years). Just a thought.
