The Red Sox have already\u00a0acquired ace pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. In 2024, Castillo sported an 11-12 record, a respectable ERA of 3.64, 175 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 1.169. The Mariners trading Castillo is becoming increasingly likely. MLB insider Mike Rodriguez stated that \u201cit\u2019s almost a certainty that he gets traded this offseason.\u201d His go-to pitches are the fastball and slider. While 2024 isn\u2019t an example of his strongest efforts due to a hamstring injury, Castillo remains an appealing trade target. The Dominican native owns the nickname \u201dLa Piedra,\u201d which in Spanish means \u201dThe Rock.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Red Sox, even after the Crochet trade, are working to acquire one of the Mariners\u2019 starting pitchers, sources say. @MLBNetwork @MLB<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) December 11, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Rumor: Red Sox Targeting Mariners Starter Luis Castillo<\/h2>\n<p>The Red Sox\u2019s biggest offseason need was to pick up a quality starter, but that doesn\u2019t mean they have to limit themselves to just one. Boston is one rumored landing spot for Castillo, and he has many other suitors, such as the Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, and the New York Mets. Seattle owes him $70 million over the next three years and he projects to get just over $70 million in terms of field value. According to Spotrac, Castillo will earn $22,750,000 in his base salary, while earning a total of $24.15 million in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Baseball Savant shows Castillo with solid rankings concerning his Pitching Run-Value (86th percentile), Fastball Run-Value (93rd percentile), and Breaking Run-Value (82nd percentile). Following the $218 million signing of Max Fried with the Yankees, the offseason and free agent market continues to heat up. Castillo\u2019s remaining salary doesn\u2019t compare with the remainder of the starting pitching market. Castillo would make a suitable starter for the Red Sox as he\u2019s sported a 5.6 fWAR in his last 63 starts. Also, he hasn\u2019t pitched fewer than 150 innings through an entire season. His fastball was dominant and impressive in 2024 and tied for sixth-best in MLB. Castillo\u2019s contract is also cost-effective, making him an even more appealing acquisition for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: \u00a9 Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Jon Morosi, the Boston Red Sox targets Seattle Mariners Dominican starting pitcher Luis Castillo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":17270,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
