For the entire season, you’ve heard us clamoring for Andrew Romine’s replacement. Starlin Castro is not that. Instead, we provide you with a replacement for Dee Gordon, who in turn replaces Romine.
Earlier today, Castro cleared waivers and the Marlins are now free to work out a deal with any team that wants him. I expect the Mariners to at least kick the tires.
The Mariners lost out on Daniel Murphy, who was claimed by the Cubs last night. Now, we don’t know for sure that the M’s were actually interested in Murphy enough to put a claim on him, but it would’ve made sense.
