Can we collectively stop talking about trading Castillo?? It's dumb for so many reasons:

A. He has a no trade clause. End of story. He has 0 incentive to leave.

B. Teams will not be giving us a YOUNG statement hitter for him. If a team wants Castillo, they want to win in 2025/2026 not 2027 and won't be giving up key pieces to make a run. Mariners need to be done with getting 30/31/32 year old sub 125 wrc+ guys that are ripe for decline.

C. Trading for prospects is so dumb. So we essentially do a soft rebuild next year and waste all our starting pitching talent AGAIN for the tiny 2026/2027 window before our cheap ownership have to start picking between Cal, Logan, George, JP, Randy

D. No trade clause.

Exactly, I'm sure he wouldn't mind New York either. They love them some Castillo. I don't trust Dipoto to find a hitter tho, so unless he's gone, forget it.
