But I'm sure they'd trade him to a division rival for just Lynn.
Castro will be in Chicago for 2014 unless someone gets stupid with their offer. (Miller/Martinez + Jenkins).

I don't feel like Martinez + Jenkins for Castro would be a stupid offer at all.
The Cardinals would essentially be surrendering their setup man and potentially stalled prospect for a starting SS with 6 years of team control.
Martinez has absolutely electric stuff, but I still don't think he can hold up as a starter. He is such a slinger and is so max-effort in his delivery. Moreover, with his 'swagger', I don't see him being a guy willing to tone it down a little to get more efficient with his pitch counts and/or prolong his career.
Martinez and Jenkins wouldn't be too much to give up, IMO. We'd get to keep the first rounder we'd have given up to get Drew, we'd save $$ and we'd get a hell of a lot more upside.
Would do.
