Has there been a report or rumors on who Castillo would waive his no trade clause? Only thing I’ve heard is he would say no to the Yankees cause he’d have to cut his dreadlocks

I haven't heard a word about it other than a reporter speculating he would turn down Toronto because of the tax. I didn't hear about the Yankees thing. I didn't even know they had that policy. I knew about no beards, but not no dreads. They are weird.

I guess not sure if true but that’s what Divish said, or maybe speculated that I didn’t hear correctly.

Oh you are probably right. They are weird and outdated over there.

I truly expected the Mariners to sign him. Price and position fit.
------------------------------------------------


Nationals agreed to terms with INF Amed Rosario to a one-year contract.
The New York Post’s Jon Heyman says it’s a $2 million deal. Rosario has not been getting much love from MLB teams of late, but he did hit a respectable .280/.306/.380 for the Rays, Dodgers and Reds last season. If the Nationals were to make him their third baseman, he could offer some mixed-league value with his ability to hit for average and steal bases. However, he’ll probably be more of a utilityman initially.

It’s sad that we are at the point where are seeing guys like Rosario come off the board and we are upset

mindset of owners is pretty clear and precisely what i predicted.

they'll predicate their PR on the idea that we missed the playoffs by 1 game, that we're "so close", and DANEDGARDEDGAR to infinity. That's why they'll say there was no need to do much of anything.

Nevermind that we were 3.5 games out of the wild card race when we were eliminated, not 1 game out.

Nevermind that the only reason the M's held a lead in the division for the first half was because of epically historically great pitching. once in a decade type stuff spanning all of MLB.

Nevermind that once they lost the division lead, they only even held any of the 3 wild card spots for a total of a couple of weeks, and held NO wild card at all for the final 4 weeks of the season.

"so close" my ass. and idiot "fans" will eat it up.
