He started 30 games for Seattle and recorded 175 strikeouts across 175.1 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Castillo pitched to a 3.34 ERA while striking out 219 hitters in 197 innings pitched. He was ultimately selected to his second All-Star team during the &#8217;23 campaign as well.<\/p>\n<p>He has been one of the better pitchers in the sport over the past couple of seasons.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Castillo&#8217;s potential fit with Red Sox, Orioles<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Red Sox could still use another starting pitcher or two. Crochet is going to help matters without question, but Boston still has question marks in the rotation.<\/p>\n<p>The Orioles are another ball club that needs a pitching boost, especially with Corbin Burnes set to possibly leave in MLB free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore has been competitive in recent seasons, but adding a veteran pitcher such as Castillo could help them take a step forward.<\/p>\n<p>The Mariners may not even end up trading Castillo. Nothing is guaranteed to come to fruition. If Seattle expresses interest in a trade, however, the Red Sox and Orioles will be potential suitors.<\/p>\n<p>Other teams will probably reach out to the Mariners as well, as Luis Castillo can provide a massive boost to any rotation around the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox acquired starting pitcher Garrett Crochet in a trade to bolster their rotation, but they may not be done adding pitching this offseason.
