WGN News is saying Castro's younger brother is also involved, and that Theo is pissed.

[ChiCubsFan]

This isn't going to end well.

Terrific GIF choice. I should GIF that complement, but too lazy.

They won't sell low on him. It'd shock me if he's dealt this offseason, but who knows what may have been said to him 3 weeks ago, when the first incident took place.

I wonder how thickly pockets got lined.

Here's a dramatic recreation of how PTR handled things:

I love how everyone here is assuming the worst. Yeah, it doesn't look good, but its a freaking headline really, we don't know any of the facts. For all we know, his bodyguard was protecting him from gangsters who are trying to shake him down. Sure, in this hypothetical, you'd hope he'd just avoid those kinds of places, but 20somethings are generally pretty stupid. Doesn't mean he's a gangbanger himself.

 

I mean, remember how everyone thought Tonya Harding was an awful person? When we found out the facts that she was an innocent and her bodyguard was the mastermind, then we all accepted her back with open arms and I think this could be a similar situation. :wink:

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm wondering if these are highly trained professional bodyguards or his friends being handed guns and paid to hang out with him?

Kinzer - "I think it would be better for Starlin to move to Arizona where he can work out in the Cubs complex all year"

Kinzer on Castro: "Even if he wasn't involved, he's twice been in the middle of gunshots, and that's what scares me, he could be a victim"

[SouthSideRyan]

That's kind of unexpected from an agent.

Castro's Instagram an hour ago I think? Not sure what it says

Thank God for the opportunity and for keeping my head high despite the dema and ill

 

Can't figure out what dema might be. Maybe drama?

 

I think he is saying "demas" which is others, so likely he means despite mean spirited comments from others, or something along those lines.

[RynoRules]

We need to find a way to weave the whole "brought to justice" thing into the NSBB lexicon.

[bukie]

Castro moves him and his family to Arizona because the DR isn't safe enough: http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/12182605/starlin-castro-chicago-cubs-moving-family-arizona-being-gunfire-incidents-dominican-republic

 

Fans continue to bash him for no reason, film at 11.

[Sammy Sofa]

Moving to Arizona to escape guns?

[sneakypower]

also probably a wash in terms of drunk driving

[CubInOK]

Sheriff Joe has already arrested Castro for being an "illegal."
