    Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo, the shortstops traded for Luis Castillo, are currently ranked No. 17 and No. 52 on MLB.com's Top 100 prospect list. Top 100 Baseball Prospects | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM The Official Site of Major League Baseball The trade also included pitchers Connor Phillips and Andrew Moore. Phillips now ranks No. 11 in an improved Cincinnati Reds farm system. Reds Top Prospects | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM The Official Site of Major League Baseball That Red Sox package probably would not be competitive.

    By some measures (including Baseball Trade Values), the Seattle Mariners overpaid in the near-deadline trade for righthander Luis Castillo, giving up promising shortstop prospects Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo, plus two minor league pitchers. The Mariners apparently decided it was the right time and place to overpay. The early results look good with performance and the contract extension. After the trade Castillo was welcomed in Seattle by former Cincinnati teammates Eugenio Suarez and Jesse Winker. A few days later the San Francisco Giants sent the Mariners Curt Casali, Castillo's one-time personal catcher with the Reds. Castillo is saying the right things about the Mariners' future.

    The Seattle Mariners have already extended righthander Luis Castillo in a five-year, $108 million contract through 2027: Luis Castillo extension with Mariners WWW.MLB.COM SEATTLE -- For years, Jerry Dipoto’s front office coveted Luis Castillo from afar, well before he reached the Majors and blossomed into one of the game’s elite workhorses. And on Saturday, the Mariners’ president of baseball operations and his staff locked up the two-time All-Star long term. The club announced The Mariners control Castillo and starters Robbie Ray, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Marco Gonzales and Chris Flexen through at least the 2025 season (all but Gonzales through 2026).

    That could be interpreted as a death wish. My 67th birthday should not be my last one.

    Iconic moments of Seattle Mariner history -- Edgar Martinez's double to top the Yankees in the deciding game of 1995 ALDS and Saturday's improbable comeback from a seven-run deficit against the Blue Jays -- have fallen on my birthday.

    The Yankees may prevent the AL East from going winless in the postseason games this year. Or not.

    The Red Sox are in the lottery for the top selection in the June 2023 draft but have only an 0.76 percent chance of landing that No. 1 pick: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/10/2023-draft-lottery-odds-finalized.html

    In addition to the draft the Red Sox need to mine the international market that has yielded Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, Brayan Bello, Ceddanne Rafaela and others.

    Baseball Trade Values accepts a trade of four years of Chris Flexen (+$1 million) for two years of Yankee second baseman Gleyber Torres (-$1 million): https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-103610/ This offseason the Yankees may enter the free agent market for shortstops despite their top infield prospects. New York Post columnist Joel Sherman suggests Torres may be expendable: https://nypost.com/2022/09/30/inside-the-demise-of-a-young-yankees-core-around-aaron-judge/

    Any interest in 28-year-old Seattle righthander Chris Flexen, who in two seasons with the Mariners has posted an ERA of 3.62 in 63 appearances, including 52 starts? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/flexech01.shtml In December 2020 the Mariners signed the former New York Met who had spent the previous season in the Korean Baseball Organization. According to Spotrac, Flexen comes with four years of team control but will earn $8 million in 2023 under a vested option. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/chris-flexen-21243/ Flexen and Matt Brash entered the 2022 season in the Seattle starting rotation but were replaced by deadline acquisition Luis Castillo and emerging rookie George Kirby. The Mariners control Flexen, Brash and their current five starters through at least the 2025 season (all but Marco Gonzales through 2026). A Seattle farm system depleted by graduations still has promising starters Emerson Hancock, Bryce Miller and Taylor Dollard, who concluded the 2022 season at Double A, often the last stop for Mariner pitching prospects before the MLB callup. Just a thought.

    At my fantasy auction in March I took Triston Casas for the league minimum thinking Casas would be an early-season callup. I am now pleased that Casas did not burn a year of team control under our fantasy rules.

    Each fan sets the standards that bring the most joy. Enjoy the four World Series titles and forget the last-place finishes. Nothing wrong with that. Despite the lack of World Series titles the Seattle Mariners have brought occasional joy ... and sorrow. Nothing wrong with that.
