Done deal! Cubs secure Castro w/ 7 year deal
The deal reportedly includes a $6 million signing bonus, with salaries of $5 million for 2013 and ‘14, $6 million in ‘15, $7 million in ‘16, $9 million in ‘17, $10 million in ‘18 and $11 million in ‘19. There is also reportedly a club option for ‘20 at $16 million, or a $1 million buyout.
If Castro wins the Most Valuable Player Award or finishes first through fifth twice, the final year of the deal and the option year would each escalate by $2 million.
The deal would cover all four years of arbitration for Castro, plus his first three years of free agency.

Castro plans to stay in Chicago a very long time, and can’t wait to find out what Wrigley Field will look and feel like if the Cubs become an elite team. ‘Oh my God, it’s gonna be awesome,’ he said.
I am much more comfortable this year because my English is much better and I can talk to everybody without help. Last year I was kind of lost and didn’t know where I was going. Now I have more experience at these things. I will take [teammate and fellow All-Star Bryan] LaHair with me everywhere I go.

Nyjer Morgan hits an infield pop-up. Matt Garza fields it while narrowly avoiding a collison with Starlin Castro. And then Garza and Castro share a hug.
If we’re going to lose, we’re damn well going to be adorable while doing it.
