White Sox acquire Luis Castillo from Mariners

sportsAug 2, 202629406

The Chicago White Sox acquired All-Star right-hander Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners in a trade at the deadline. Seattle received reliever Seranthony Domínguez, outfielder Nolan Jones and catching prospect Boston Smith in return. Castillo had joined the Mariners less than 24 hours before the deal after Seattle traded for him from the Cincinnati Reds, and in his Mariners debut he struck out eight over 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits before being removed after 106 pitches when Kyle Higashioka hit a two-run homer. Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto praised Castillo as "in the prime of his career" after Seattle had acquired him. The White Sox made the move to bolster their rotation as part of a division title push.

The White Sox today made two acquisitions: one was Luis Castillo and the other was Team In Their Division No Longer Employing Tarik Skubal

Trading for Luis Castillo signaled a seriousness about winning that was extremely welcome from the Mariners. It's not right to say that trading him away signals an end to that seriousness - he's not 2022 Castillo, and this team isn't very good - but it would be nice to see that energy matched.

(extends to the play on the field, which is at times extremely slop-ass, as well as the organization/ownership approach to roster building)

Best I can do is Mitch Garver meekly striking out to end the game.

We've never seen Luis Castillo and @TheRock in the same room

Two panels next to each other. On the right is The Rock, wearing jeans, a black turtleneck, a silver chain, and a black fanny pack. He’s casually leaning to the side. On the left, it’s Luis Castillo, wearing the same baggy-ish jeans, a black, long-sleeved turtleneck, a silver chain, and a fanny pack. He’s got a smirk on his face.

The Seattle Mariners free up plenty of money and make room for prized prospect Kade Anderson with the Luis Castillo trade.

They have to take 10m on so not plenty

I wouldn't be surprised if these new guys are merely trade tokens for Jerry.

Luis Castillo unknowingly helped me raise money for Murphy's chemo and I'll never forget that (one of my tweets about him went viral and I linked the gofundme under it)

Tristan Peters, on #WhiteSox postseason ambitions: "The goal’s the World Series, at least I think it is in every player’s mind here. I don’t know how it is in the front office or with the coaching staff. I know in my mind, our goal is to win the World Series."

My city is on fire. Luis Castillo is gone. Tarik Skubal is a Dodger. What a day.

Nolan Jones seems like a Jerry Dipoto redemption project. Seranthony Domínguez is a high K bullpen arm who will get the job done (most days). Boston Smith is intriguing. About what I would expect for this stage of Luis Castillo. I wonder how much of his contract the White Sox will eat #Mariners

They’re taking on all of it

Daniel Carroll4

I’ve seen word that it’s all of it

Funksands3

All of it apparently, which makes this a good trade

They ate all of it.

The White Sox paying 24 million for a probably cooked Luis Castillo is a lesson in “just sign guys in the offseason”

It gets overshadowed by the walkoff, but Luis Castillo made the first relief appearance of his career in the 14th inning of ALDS Game 5, and then retired the top of the Tigers lineup in the 15th. Luis is a Mariner.
