MARINERS LAND LUIS CASTILLO

The Yankees were apparently engaged in trade talks with the Reds for Luis Castillo, but it would be the Mariners that would win this one.

MLB Trade Rumors writes:

"Mariners and Reds announced a deal sending two-time All-Star Luis Castillo to Seattle. In exchange, the Reds bring back four prospects — highly-regarded infielders Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo and right-handers Levi Stoudt and Andrew Moore.

Castillo had been perhaps the prize of this year’s rotation market."

Let's see what happens next.
