NFT: Yankees Chat - Luis Castillo rumor?

That's ironic

.

Castillo relies on 4 pitches. Changeup (30%) 4-Seam Fastball (27.1%) Sinker (25.2%) Slider (17.7%)

Timeline:

Yankees acquire Castillo

Looks good early in spring

Struggles in April. Boone: "Not worried, just working on some things"

ERA over 5 in 2021

Garcia/Frazier excel

Brett Gardner starts 150 games in left and hits .220 but leads team in "Grit Factor"

Castillo traded in offseason for pennies on the dollar

Cashman: He isn't the first guy or the last guy who will struggle in this market

Castillo: They told me to drop my changeup and throw my slider more.

Just another re-branded troll trying to be funny because Cashman and the Yanks seem incapable of signing a decent pitcher without screwing him up( Lance Lynn, Sonny Gray, etc).

But got to think he costs an awful lot in talent. Reds looking to dump moustakis- maybe taking $$ lessens talent cost?

Reds also looking to move Castellanos If the Yankees were to take on a contract,I think an OF would be preferable if they moved Clint. However,Hal isn't going to go over the cap & taking on another large contract would do that!

Yanks “can’t” take back Moustakas. They are up against the lux tax as it is.

But I don't think the Yankees have the ammo to pull off a deal.

Yea, Im thinking this is Danny Dines aka Denny in Denville's reincarnation.

Id love to get a look at a few of these nerds just to see what truly pitiable looks like.

isn't good and owed huge money but he has 8 more doubles than #2 since 2018. Pretty impressive for a pretty meh overall player. Next few names..Jose Ramirez, Betts, Rendon, Bregman, Rendon.

if giving up Frazier, Andy and Garcia gets a 28 year old established pitcher, Im good with it.

I dont FEEL drunk

Lol, there was that large stamp I found in my Dads drawer that I used an hour ago...what was weirdis it had no price just a picture of a rainbow dragon grinning.

Yes I'm sure Cashman checked in Castillo as he does other potentially available players, but that's all it is.

They don’t match up well anyway

apparently took less to join NYY and Tanaka wants 1 year 15-20

Reds asked for Gleyber in return. Reds probably just holding onto Castillo now.

They want a mega deal for a young cost controlled pitcher so it's not surprising.

is not going anywhere now, he has earned his
playing time here. You would also be trading awfully low on Andujar,
unfortunately the young man hasn't done anything the last two years.
I don't see a trade for Castillo happening anytime soon myself.

How could we forget, a walk off error, LOL.

Torres is not a long term option at SS. He's better at 2nd base. Since we signed DJ who will play the majority of 2nd base we could sign one of the remaining SS's on the market. Semiem, Didi who else is out there.

Gotta give something to get something.

gave up almost nothing for Lindor..
