The first Reds rumors of the trade season involve Luis Castillo, and I believe it’s much ado about nothing. Jon Morosi of MLB Network calls Castillo one of the most coveted pitchers on the trade market. Well, duh! Tell us something we don’t know.
Morosi cited Castillo’s 1.76 ERA over his previous nine starts, which is now down to 1.71 over his last 10 starts. Morosi even doubled-down on his earlier tweet after Castillo’s dominance over the St. Louis Cardinals, saying that every contender would want to trade for him and yet Cincinnati is unlikely to move the right-hander.
