Both would be big sell high guys. But you'd also lose basically all your bullpen stability.

Looking at his numbers a bit more...Castillo has a a 5.37 FIP away from Seattle this year. That's Fedde levels of bad. Unless they think they can fix him, it's hard to justify this trade without getting some money back to cover his salary.

Tying run up...wtf Arizona

This does feel a little bit like the Shields trade...just sayin'.

On Baseball Trade Values (take this with a grain of salt), Dominguez has -$10 mil surplus value and Castillo is at -$-17 mil. I'm not sure how much value Smith has, but it's probably close to $5-10 mil depending on how you value him. Unless we're getting some money back, we lost on this trade from a surplus value perspective.

Us taking on all the salary wouldn't make a lot of sense.

So he's making $24 mil next year. You trade Dominguez's salary of $10 million and you're effectively paying him $14 million next year. If he's bad, he's not throwing 180 innings anyways, so the vesting option is whatever.

Jesus Christ, Sewald is trying to make this close.

Don't like giving up Smith, but Castillo is controllable and has a good track record, even if he has been on a downward trajectory. The stuff is still really good and he's had a rough year. But they must think they can turn him around. Seranthony just started to turn it around, but in case he doesn't, we also dump his $10 million owed next year. I do wonder how much money we get back in cash on this.

Huh, they gotta be sending us some money right?

Thank you Diamondbacks, very cool

Rutschman wouldn't cost that much?

Sounds like BS

He's been such a disappointment. He hasn't been a good hitter for 3 years now.

If he just threw home right after he stepped on first, Randy is probably out.

I don't know what Lewis was doing.

Mariners are god awful right now.

It's pretty easy to see how the Rays outperform their run differential. They don't give up leads late in the game.

Gotta Ron proof all game threads if we're on a win streak.

I didn't expect to win given the pitching matchup, but when you only give up a run, it always sucks to lose.

It's all Ron's fault.

Grichuk just a bit too early. That wall in left is low enough for that to get out.

101 EV, 39 degree launch angle. Just a little bit under.

Vargas just missed it

I'm surprised they threw Caminero a fastball tbh. I thought they were just gonna spam change ups.
