It would make some sense that he could be off the table for the Yankees. Still, his bat projects well and he’s a 20-20 threat. He’s spent most of his time in the minors at shortstop, but is probably a second baseman down the line. 253/.351/.461 while going 35 for 39 in stolen base attempts. As a 21-year-old in Double-A he’s hitting. This season he’s been solid, but unspectacular at the plate.
294/.423/.604 as he split his season in Low-A and High-A. He says that after ending the first paragraph of his piece noting that the Yankees won’t move prospects Anthony Volpe or Oswald Peraza in the deal.Īnthony Volpe was recently ranked as the 16th best prospect in baseball at the midseason point by Baseball America. Heyman notes within that the price tag will be high for Castillo. Jon Heyman has been the source of many of these rumors and he’s back at it this morning at the New York Post, noting that the Yankees and Dodgers are the “early favorites” to land Castillo in a trade. Going back two straight offseasons the Yankees have been heavily rumored to be calling Cincinnati to try and acquire Luis Castillo. That brings us around to the New York Yankees, who are reportedly interested in acquiring the Reds ace for what feels like the 47th season in a row. Argue if you would like to that it makes sense to move him now, but having the option to move him in the offseason, or even next year at the deadline gives the Reds leverage in any trade talks with whoever is on the other side of the phone.
He is under contract with the Reds through the 2023 season, with next year being his final year of arbitration.

The righty is not a free agent at the end of this season. With that said, the Cincinnati Reds aren’t in a “must trade Luis Castillo” situation. For a team that’s looking to really bolster their rotation, Castillo is exactly the guy to try and acquire. The Cincinnati Reds lone All-Star has made 13 starts this season and so far is having the best year of his career, posting a 2.77 ERA in his 78.0 innings where he’s allowed 57 hits – just 5 home runs – and walked 27 batters to go along with 82 strikeouts. Luis Castillo may be the best player that is assumed to be on the trade market this summer.
