Matt Olson and Luis Castillo are available for trade

[HawkandMariner88]

Plenty of chatter surrounding the Yankees and Matt Olson.... those arrogant bastards always believe they are entitled to a team's MVP and that that team should accept whatever trash prospects they throw at them..... (Mariners have taken the hook with Sheffield and Jesus Montero)

I see Shannon Drayer today told Mike Salk that the M's were very solid on making first move to sign Marcus Simien.... that's a good start, do it..... sign the Japanese outfielder.... it's ok... sign Verlander....ok.... But get your head out of your ass and get after Matt Olson, do not let the Yankees snap him up with a lesser offer... we have the trade chips...

I get the not dealing top prospects line but at some point you gotta bend just a little. What I wouldn't like is depleting your entire farm for a few guys that's where I come in. But yes I know for a fact we can outbid the Bombers & if Oaklands dumb enough to accept whatever piss poor offer they throw at them they clearly don't know what the hell their doing.

Yeah, like you are suggesting the M's would give the A's their entire farm system for Olson??? Not a realistic argument...

I can get behind an Olson trade:

1. Starling Marte CF
2. Ty France 2B
3. Marcus Semien 3B
4. Matt Olson 1B
5. Mitch Haniger DH
6. Jarred Kelenic LF
7. Kyle Lewis RF
8. Cal Raleigh C
9. JP Crawford SS

Agreed. Its a cheaper alternative for them than say signing Corey Seager. They'd gladly take Matt Olson and his $12M salary.

Oakland is going to get a haul for him. No way does he wind up with the Yankees in my opinion.

Nov. 10: M’s have checked in on Castillo

The Mariners are among the teams that have checked in with the Reds about a trade for right-hander Luis Castillo, according to MLB.com’s Jon Paul Morosi.

Morosi reported Nov. 8 that the Reds were willing to engage in trade discussions involving the 28-year-old, who is controllable for two more seasons.

Castillo's addition would make our rotation better than it was just a year ago. You could do a lot of different things with that 5 slot. T. Anderson, J. Dunn, R. Ray, A. DeSclafani, would all be very possible additions to the team.

Maybe if I post this five times a day every day, everyone will eventually read it and maybe even believe it. lol

This seems a bit out of line with a few of JDs recent comments.

1. Not trading any core prominent prospects
2. No idea if he can find a CF
3. France is his first baseman

Might as well post trade ideas for Trout and Tatis JR.

[Donn Beach]

he is going to decide to trade prospects he doesn't want to trade for a player that plays a position he already has filled...makes sense to me

I'm sure the Reds were intrigued with our Juan Then/Kaden Polcovich offer...
