Not only was that a move for the future, it would have brought in a couple of young player who would have helped the team this season. They low-balled the guy in arb (although I suspect that was so that he would get his number) so there was no real thought of extending him (which is really the only reason not to sell).I remember Williams made 2 throwaway deadline deals for a couple of stiffs in 2012 his swansong year. Well he dumped Devinski (a fantastic reliever for the Astros - but he was over pitched) and Escobar who had several excellent MI years. Between this and Hahn's well-documented moves, they purchased themselves another rebuild.I said it over the winter when the arb hearing fell apart.

I suppose that you have to feel you can fix Castillo to make it work, as he has been AWFUL to start this year, and it doesn't seem to be injury related as his velos are steady to up, across his portfolio.

Although maybe Castillo could be a decent bullpen arm, but his stuff has regressed so much over the past few years that I could see him falling off as a starter from here forward.

I don’t want to feel responsible if he starts tanking, even if it’s a dumb avatar bet. I’m also the last guy that knows anything about fWAR and pitchers. But I have always been a huge Davis Martin fan, even before this year. He can throw any pitch in any count for a strike. In that regard, he has always reminded me of a right handed Mark Buehrle.

If these two are actually performing, do you think the White Sox do this deal? If Boston does sell, they probably keep Whitlock anyway, as they will look to contend in 2027.

If so, that’s an incredibly gross trade for us and one Getz will not consider making.
May 23May 23 Red Sox looking for any offensive help. Red Sox Making Trade Calls For Offensive Help - MLB Trade RumorsI'd happily send them Hays or Grichuk.
May 24May 24 Would a Gonzo for Jake Bennet trade make sense? Red Sox just acquired Bennett last year in somewhat strange prospect for prospect swap, but he’s 25 and still not in the big league rotation. Boston is also desperate for IF help specifically so a 1 for 1 swap of 2 guys that will get a deserved immediate call up to the majors for their new team makes some sense to me.
