00:00and the Cubs, Red Sox, Orioles, and Mets have all inquired with the Mariners about the availability

00:05of starter Luis Castillo. I think that guy can flat out pitch, Cam, and I think that I'd be

00:13interested in him as well. I don't know. Luis Castillo is one of the best pitchers in baseball.

00:19He's consistently good. This is the thing, like the Cubs, I still think they're a little bit away,

00:24Red Sox, but if the Orioles or Mets pick this guy, look at what the Mets are doing.

00:27If they get Luis Castillo, the Dodgers, that's the thing. You want to keep up with the Dodgers,

00:32you do have to do things like this. This is very, very interesting stuff. Basically,

00:36an open wallet for Castillo. The Mariners need him, but they're the type of team to trade him,

00:40Scotty. I don't know what you think about this matter, but if the Mets or Orioles pick up

00:43Castillo, that's bad news for everybody else in MLB. I think they need to pick him up because

00:48I don't believe for one minute that Soto and Frankie Montas puts the Mets in the same conversation

00:54with the Dodgers at all. Yeah, you're right. And the thing is, if Castillo goes to the Mets,

00:59that's a game changer because then you got like a legit guy. He eats innings. He's a monster.

01:04Guy's got so many different pitches and that's the thing. You know what? That would be actually

01:07really cool for baseball because right now the Dodgers are running away with things.

01:10If the Mets make that move, man, that'd be interesting. The Pirates signed, you know,

01:16I think he left. I know that the Pirates did not sign Brian De La Cruz. He just left the Pirates.

01:24He went somewhere else. I don't know if you can find that out real quick, mafia,

01:27but Brian De La Cruz did not stay with the Pirates. He just left. I think he went to the Reds.

01:33If I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong. Is that right?

01:37Oh, he went to the Braves. Yeah. Oh, he'll probably be great for the Braves because he's

01:42monkey onions for the Pirates. What a bum. Go ahead. The minute I saw him leave, I'm like,

01:48sayonara, dude. You remember they got him? He had 17 home runs. He never hit one home run for

01:54the Pirates the entire season when they picked him up. What a disaster. The Pirates trade with

02:00the Red Sox for infielder, outfielder, Emmanuel Valdez, who can actually play, but he can't hit.

02:05So they got a guy that can play outfield and second base, but he can't hit. He's a lifetime

02:12hitter. I think when he played for the Red Sox or something like that, he was a 235 hitter.

02:20Last year, he was a 210 hitter. He can't hit. The guy cannot hit. So just with the Piracy and

02:24another guy that can't hit because they got an entire team full of guys that can't hit

02:28and they traded minor league pitching prospect, Joe Vygaski. Who? Who, Carver? Who?
