We completely stole 2 runs that inning lol

What a job by Beni

Yeah that is weird. Definitely feels like we're trading him in a big move now.

What did she say?

It should probably be the other way around.

You watch the Mariners, how bad has Castillo really been?

You think the main piece for that trade would be Shaw?

Not to mention that Schweitzer has mostly pitched in mop up duty while we're up 5-6 runs. It's great nothing bad happened, but those innings are not the same as pitching with a 1 or 2 run lead.

Martin and Burke are scheduled to pitch in Fenway along with Fedde. He most likely takes Schultz's spot in the rotation and starts in the first game against Cleveland.

They are quite bad at scoring.

No, Cleveland's best hitters all can hit from the left side - Bazana, Ramirez, DeLauter, Kwan, Rocchio. Minnesota has Larnach and Clemens.

It has everything to do with who can actually sign him after this year. And the only teams that can probably do that are the Dodgers and Yankees.

This is crazy. He saw the same amount of righties as lefties last year. This year he has seen 80 more lefties than righties.

The evolution of Castillo throughout the years is kind of crazy. He went from having one of the best change ups in baseball to having one of the worst.

Yeah, but we're not seeing a decrease in velocity or anything that drastic in pitch shapes. He's also not walking more guys. It's simply that guys aren't swinging at his slider anymore.

Ugh, what a waste of financial flexibility. It's too bad the Red Sox got good again, otherwise we could have traded for Sonny Gray.

This is just overkill though. They could build like a 7 man rotation for the playoffs if everyone's healthy.

Braden Montgomery, Tanner McDougal, and David Sandlin.

His wOBA against on the road is like .364. It's ugly.

It better be for a Cy Young or something outlandish lol.

Is this guy related to Jim?

They have to have some model that thinks he's going to be worth at least $14 million next year, right? Otherwise, why make a trade like this?

The price of every starter has been high. Even Dean Kremer got a legit prospect in return. Maybe I'll feel better once some of the other guys get dealt and those deals look like overpays too.

2 top 100 prospects and neither were in their top 3. Crazy.

FWIW, the projection models still think he's a 4 ERA/4 FIP guy. That's fine for a 3rd starter. I do wonder how those projections might change when he no longer pitches in Seattle tho.
