Casas for Castillo is an all time stupid move. Don't do it Craig, just use MONEY and sign Burnes.
Casas had 35 homer 100 walk 500 OPS

Breslow was on mlb network with Amsenger, Casey, and Verducci yesterday seemed pretty high on Casas. Said he’s a 40 homer bat

The more Craig talks up Casas the more I think he's trading him. Sincerely.
power and control of strike zone like Casas has is rare - although I do agree Cora dream is Bregman on team (3B?) & Devers (1B?)

It would be a mistake to deal Casas

My reading around for Castillo has Abreu and Crawford or Yoshida mentioned the most in a package

I want to go back to this tweet. Am I the only one who feels led astray by the "no other big names" report? I would absolutely consider Montgomery a big name.
Yup I’d say not a stretch he is best player they got when all said and done

Thankfully we have Duran, Rafaela, Anthony, and Abreu in the OF

Joel Sherman said the Red Sox were not including Montgomery till Fried signed and desperation picked up

Why am I not surprised that they are invested in the trading market rather than just signing at least someone like Buehler?
But that they seem to be adamant about trading Casas doesn't come as a surprise to me. The guy is a weirdo and I doubt many guys in a clubhouse like his attitude.

I really wonder why the Mariners keep sitting at their hands. The Sox and M's should be a match made in heaven, but Seattle has always been kind of gun shy.

At this point, I don't care as much as I used to. Kind of indifferent. They can do whatever they feel like. They lost me like 1-2 years ago.

Casas was good outside of the injury he's not Bobby Dalbec.

Can't Devers DH and play some LF/1B if we got Bregman for 3rd. Hell have a year where he becomes unplayable as an every day 3B soon enough maybe even next year.

Bregmans big seasons are pretty far behind him what's he gonna cost 3/60? If he wants something for a lot more or longer walk away.

I would not sign Buhler off of a couple of good starts for his super team after a couple years of struggles. Unless he's really cheap and short term.

Lot of Casas hate

I love the guy - so much a drafted him last March in my APBA league

The nails painting isn’t my bag but all the rest of it is right up my alley

Love the zaniness - hope he stays and keeps it coming beats Benintendi and others going out of way to give boring short answers

I mean, he did take thousands of mental at bats while rehabbing...
he’s extremely bright so not surprised

Andy Brickley was discussing this during a telecast earlier this year

I love to watch Casas hit.

But I don't have to be in the dugout and locker room with him.

I'd be afraid to trade him. He could jack 50-55 someday.

I'm not a big Bregman guy, but you're underrating him pretty drastically here. He's not the guy we saw in 2018 and 2019, but for the rest of his career, he's been around a 4+ WAR guy, including for 3 years straight, and would've likely hit those numbers in '21 as well if he wasn't injured. Averages 25 hr and a high OBP. He's Taylor made for Fenway.

3/60? Lol.

The Astros offered him 6/155.

He actually makes alot of sense for BOS, but 6+ years is dicey by the end
