Mariners Shake up Roster, Trading Luis Castillo to the White Sox Ahead of Deadline
Chicago adds a three-time All-Star and takes on his contract as Seattle gets bullpen help, an outfielder and a catching prospect.
- On Saturday, the Chicago White Sox acquired veteran starting pitcher Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners. Seattle received relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith.
- Chicago will absorb the remaining money on Castillo's contract, covering the pro-rated $22.75M for this year and $22.75M next year. The deal includes a $25 million vesting option for 2028 if he reaches at least 180 innings.
- Despite a 5.06 ERA this season, the White Sox are counting on Castillo's veteran leadership. The three-time All-Star has started at least 30 games in each of the past three seasons, providing proven reliability.
- The Mariners, currently 54-58 and trailing the Houston Astros in the AL West, acquired prospect Boston Smith to fill the void left by catcher Harry Ford's departure last offseason.
- With the trade deadline approaching on Monday, sources indicate Seattle remains active and is listening on players like Randy Arozarena and George Kirby. The shift signals potential roster changes before the deadline closes.
