In his eight seasons, in addition to being an ace, Castillo has demonstrated his elite durability. In 2023, he led all of MLB, with 33 games started, just three shy of his total in 2024.
Furthermore, with trade proposals already being made for the ace, a trade to Boston would make sense; in addition to his availability, Castillo would bring a veteran presence with playoff experience to a young Red Sox rotation.
Castillo signed a five-year, $108 million extension with the Mariners in 2022. He is a three-time All-Star and had a 3.64 ERA last season.
Moving on from Castillo and his contract could net the Mariners a young offensive player and open up room to spend.
