The Chicago Cubs have acquired veteran utility player Willi Castro from the Minnesota Twins, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday afternoon ahead of the trade deadline.

The teams have not confirmed the trade.

The switch-hitting Castro, 28, is batting .245 with 10 home runs, 27 RBIs and nine stolen bases in 12 attempts this season.

He was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time in 2024, when he batted .247 with career highs of 12 homers and 60 RBIs and was voted the team’s most valuable player. Castro set a career best with 33 stolen bases in 2023, his first season with Minnesota.

Castro is a career .248 hitter with 55 home runs, 222 RBIs, 74 stolen bases, a .316 on-base percentage and a .706 OPS in 671 regular-season games for the Detroit Tigers (2019-22) and Twins.

He started 46 games in the outfield, 27 at second base, nine at third base and two at shortstop for the Twins this season.

Castro, who can become a free agent in 2026, is earning $6.4 million this season.
