1 hour ago1 hr 6 minutes ago, ChiSoxFanMike said:The overreactions both on here and Twitter are insane and I am the king of overreactions here.The Sox gave up nothing in this trade besides Smith. The vast majority of this fanbase wanted Dominguez gone for awhile now. Castillo isn’t what he once was, but he clearly fills a need here and sending Dominguez’s contact the other way evens out the money a bit.They still need another starter. But I think the people saying the Sox got fleeced are crazy.Think some people are looking at the name and not the stuff and results. Castillo was moved out of the rotation at one point this year, and he wasn't happy about it. We did Seattle favor, so just odd we had to give up anything.

1 hour ago1 hr This for sure has potential to blow up and make Getz look bad if Castillo can’t turn it around. BUT after years of bitching about lack of spending, I can’t really complain about taking on Castillo’s contract. And honestly, if it’s this or give up a top prospect for Detmers I’d have gone this route too…as others have said, not my $ and about time Jerry opened his dusty wallet

But I thought we already gave up a lot in this deal and there's a chance we can give up more... Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by chw42

Gross as f***.Everyone talked about trading every great kid in the system for some mediocre JAGs. ‘sah matter with youze? People had their sights way too high. We got a body, and that’s all the Sox were gonna be doing. 2027 is the year. Wait for Thorpe and Smith in the meantime Edited 57 minutes ago57 min by Chick Mercedes

1 hour ago1 hr wish we had a GM who spent money on good players instead of bad ones, this is seriously some schizophrenic s%*#, first Dominguez and now Castillo. at least Mune has panned out so far, assuming he doesn't have another soft tissue injury

1 hour ago1 hr 33 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said:who seems to be doneI’m not buying this one bit. The M’s REALLY jerked him around this year and he was not happy AT ALL.Really believe that they firmly believe they can turn him around and that a change of scenery is going to help him.
1 hour ago1 hr I like seeing the club be willing to take on payroll but this seems like a very strange trade for Sox and by strange it seems stupid. That contract is flat out but bad unless we think there is a minor adjustment needed and his stuff is still well above average. In fairness it is one bad season but he is also on older side.
1 hour ago1 hr Lookout LandingGrade the Luis Castillo trade | Lookout LandingPer Jeff Passan, Castillo is headed to the White Sox for Seranthony Dominguez, Nolan Jones and Boston Smith. How would you grade the trade?Mariners fans are all ecstatic.Couldn't believe Boston Smith was also included.Shock someone absorbed his whole contract.

1 hour ago1 hr 19 minutes ago, wegner said:I must say that I have to respect Dominguez a bit because he seemed to accept his demotion and he worked his way back and seemed to be becoming a valuable member of the bullpen again. Contrast him with that little b**** Kimbrel who didn't want to pitch in the 8th inning....I hated that friggin guy.A week ago, last Friday night, Ser was awful and a big part of our worst loss of the season. 2 good outings and now he’s fixed?And f*** Kimbrel
