Mariner Take on Giants With Another Luis Castillo

The Seattle Mariners  game Friday 
is a day game in San Francisco. 
OnbWednesday  Luis Castillo was 
the winning pitcher. 

Friday the Mariners  are starting 
another Luis Castillo  who they
acquired  during the off-season.
He is brought up from Tacoma
where he started  the season.  
He will start against Justin 
Verlander. While Bryce Miller 
will be moved back a day. 

Early  on the season  it isn't 
a bad idea  to give starters 
an extra day  off as they to
increase their pitch count
and innings.  This will help
in the long run is the theory. 

There are rumors that the
Mariners  would trade Luis 
Castillo from Wednesday 
during the off-season.  
Those rumors are coming 
again here he would be 
 traded to the  Chicago Cubs 
during the season.  Would it 
be withi a couple months or 
at the trading deadline. 

The Cubs are familiar  with 
Castillo  as he played for the
Cincinnati  Reds  before coming
to Seattle.  The Mariners  in 
return  may get starter Matthew  
Boyd who played for the Mariners 
in the last of 2022 season.  At
that time he pitched in relief
in ten games where he found 
success.

Boyd has been a starter most
of his career. The Mariners 
could use him in either role.
He was born in the Seattle 
area so finishing  his career
he may like. The Mariners 
are expected to get two
pitching prospects  and a
third base prospect too.

Currently  Ben Williamson 
is playing third base and
plays major league defense .
Whether he can do the same
hitting  wise we will  see.
Having another third base
project doesn't  hurt in the
same having  more pitching 
isn't  bad either. Go M's.
