Who had the best plan from the mariners podsters

[D-train]

Interesting that Castillo's no trade clause has expired, the things you can discover on the internet!

I knew that already. So you consider the guy that was the OD starter a year and a half ago the entire roster. Jerry has said many times he loves the rotation and wants to keep it together. I actually trust what he says because he does what he says. And his 1500 hours of PR training seems to be paying off.

Who the hell are they going to trade for that they need his salary relief for? Nobody ever suggests that they just spew out b*******

A simple review of the Locked On Mariners plan would answer that question but someone would need rudimentary internet skills to access the entire offseason plan.

Here is a hint:

$7M for castro instead of $1.8 for Raley. Brilliant. That was a rhetorical question. I meant they are using the Castillo savings for a bunch of nobodies.

One would think that whoever started this thread would have taken the time to break down the plan so others didn't have to.

I haven't taken 15 seconds to review this thread since I read the initial post. Why is this thread titled "Who had the best plan from the mariners podsters" and the initial post doesn't even link the video?

Regardless, if Jerry is telling the truth and the deals offered for Castillo made them scratch their heads... then the return is way better than what LO Mariners proposed.

Maybe if the M's trade for Skubal, they send Castillo back to Detroit in the deal and eat a little bit of the money alongside sending prospects. The Tigers still figure on competing even if they trade Skubal and they'll need a starter or 2 to complete their rotation. Castillo would be a welcome addition to a team like this IMO.

I agree with you initial comment but the Skubal trade would be for Kirby. We would have to pay 99% of Castillo's salary for them to have interest.

Where has he said he loves his rotation and wants to keep it together?

That's from 2024.

Thank goodness for that.

I was looking over this off seasons comments, really what's to glean is the focus on the farm system. In that sense it seem unlikely he would trade for Donovan.

Checking off boxes

“This train’s been moving for a while,” said Dipoto. “First time in our organization’s history we’ve had five straight winning seasons. We’ve won 90 games three of the last five years. We’ve been to two of the last four postseasons. We’ve now won a division title. We’re just checking off boxes.”

And Castillo had a better season in 2025 than 2024.
