Can you imagine Luis Castillo leading the Marlins rotation? It could’ve happened!

It’s true the Marlins have a good, promising rotation entering 2021, but can you imagine what the starting staff would look like with young Dominican Luis Castillo leading the group?

Yes. I’m bringing that Luis Castillo into the conversation. The one who’s pitching and dominating the tough NL Central for the Cincinnati Reds. The one who just turned 28 years old. The one whose name has been entangled in trade rumors this offseason.

Castillo is no stranger to this side of the baseball business. On January 19, 2017, exactly four years ago, the Marlins made a transaction that they are still regretting (although the Jeffrey Loria/David Samson regime was responsible for it, not the current decision-makers).
