White Sox to Acquire Luis Castillo
RP Seranthony Dominguez, OF Nolan Jones and their #15 prospect C/OF Boston Smith

Seranthony Dominguez was signed to a 2 year contract through '27 and is owed about $2,171,123 for the remainder of the year
Nolan Jones is owed about $644,080 for the remainder of the year

White Sox will take on all of the money remaining on the Castillo contract

Boston Smith isn't even listed on the site. The other two guys suck. But Smith is 23 yo and hitting over 1.000 OPS in A+ and AA this season. I like the trade.

Addition by subtraction, we'll take it.

Should've traded him two years ago.

Some pretty impressive OPS's in there

And the White Sox are taking on $30M? Seems like a W

Oh right... but I'm a full-blown retard for putting up Luis Castillo trades for the last month.



And this is very, very good return for him back.

Dominguez can touch 100... was very good the 3 years prior to the Sox signing him.

Jones is an interesting name I hadn't heard in a while. Former top prospect who was a board favorite a couple years ago to trade for when he put up a 4.3 WAR .935 OPS year with Colorado.

And that prospect has over a 1.000 OPS in AA over 60 games.

So is this trade supposed to make the Mariners better now or in the (distant) future?

Hey at least Jones will be better then Fairchild. Has some decent stats and still only 28 so will see. Get a decent setup guy great strikeout numbers and dont have to pay Castillo. So guessing no other pitcher gets moved. Since Anderson is not built up to pitch long. Back to 5 man. Thank u Rock!!

Should help out a bit now. Jones is 28 and has shown signs of great play at this level and Dominguez is our 8th inning guy throws hard and strikes out a ton. Just need a 3b

1. It gets rid of their stupid 6-man rotation.

2. It removes far and away the biggest drain on their roster and blockade to promoting pitching talent on their roster.

3. It frees up $30M over the next 1.2 years.

4. It adds a guy who yes, has struggled this year, but had an ERA of around 3.20 the last 3 years and throws 100 mph.

5. It's far better than anyone predicted the M's would get back for Castillo without eating a shit ton of $$.
