ESPN NOTICIAS: Los New York Yankees Confirman La Firma Oficial del As de los Seattle Mariners, Luis Castillo, en un Intercambio Espectacular de $108 Millones

Blockbuster Yankees Trade Idea Would Send $108 Million Ace To New York

The New York Yankees came into the offseason with big question marks. One of their more stable pieces of the team was the starting rotation. New York didn’t have a star-studded rotation last season, but it had some stable starters. This offseason, the Bronx Bombers traded Nester Cortes and signed Max Fried. Adding Fried atop the rotation next to Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt should give New York one of the deeper rotations in baseball. The Yankees also have Marcus Stroman and Will Warren, who could compete for innings. But over the last few weeks, the Yankees have lost Gil for a few months, and now Cole is undergoing further testing on an injured throwing elbow. With these major question marks surrounding Gil and Cole, the Yankees could look to swing a huge trade to acquire another starting pitcher to put at the top of their rotation. Seattle Mariners ace Luis Castillo could be a very welcomed addition to the Yankees’ roster. The Yankees were reportedly in on Castillo when the Cincinnati

Reds were looking to trade him a few seasons ago, but Castillo ultimately landed in Seattle. Castillo has been very consistent for the last few years, and New York needs that level of consistency with the question marks surrounding Cole and Gil. In exchange for the righty, the Bronx Bombers would likely need to part ways with a few big league-ready prospects like Spencer Jones, Everson Pereira, or Jorbit Vivas. It would cost a few more prospects as well, but it’s a move the Yankees may want to look into.

The Philadelphia Phillies finished the 2024 season with a 95-67 record. Unfortunately for them, they fell in the National League Division Series to the New York Mets.

This offseason, the Phillies made a huge addition to fill one of the biggest holes on their roster. They swung a blockbuster trade for Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesús Luzardo to fill the final spot in a loaded starting rotation.

Jim Bowden of The Athletic recently predicted the Phillies would finish atop the National League East, topping the Atlanta Braves and Mets. Bowden graded Philadelphia’s offseason as a “B.”
