puts the CWS with Crochet and the Mariners with their stable in the catbird seat.
Seattle is interesting to me
Castillo is expensive and getting old. If it were me, he's the one I'd deal for even a mild haul. Take that money and go buy a hitter.
Kirby seems untouchable. I'd want so many great prospects in return for him. Bobby Witt Jr is the only 1 for 1 I'd even consider. Beyond that ... I can't think of anyone who would realistically build a package for me to even consider if I were the Mariners' GM. Like, I'd want Crews and Wood plus probably another. Maybe the Orioles would put Henderson in a package with Coby Mayo and a pitcher? Red Sox would have to include Anthony in the deal.
Miller seems like a ton of home park advantage.
Woo is always hurt. When he's healthy, he's a 1/2, but he never seems to stay healthy.
So that leaves Gilbert. He's pretty close to untouchable too. Is someone going to sell the farm for him? Are the Red Sox gonna do Wilyer Abreu, Marcello Mayer, and some sort of replacement like a Cooper Kriswell?
I wonder how this sets up the Marlins. If Luzardo and Alcantara are healthy at the deadline, I gotta think both get traded for a haul.
