The Chicago Cubs’ signing of free agent backstop David Ross to a two-year, $5 million deal, coupled with the trade for former Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero, has led many to speculate that the team could be ready to deal Welington Castillo, who has served as the team’s primary backstop for the last two seasons.
