Mere moments after they traded for Garrett Crochet during the Winter Meetings, rumors surfaced that the Boston Red Sox were not done adding to their starting rotation.<\/p>\n

Social media exploded with speculations of a trade between Boston and the Seattle Mariners, but nothing ever came to fruition with the M’s, who have plenty of pitching talent to spare. MLB insider Mark Feinsand of MLB.com\u00a0recently revealed what held up a potential deal.<\/p>\n

Seattle sought Triston Casas in return\u00a0for veteran righty starter Luis Castillo, and the Sox were willing to give him up on one condition: the Mariners also take on Masataka Yoshida and the three years and $55.8 million remaining on his contract.<\/p>\n

Red Sox Nation has conflicting opinions about that potential trade, but most seem content it didn’t go through. Castillo is a solid, veteran arm who would’ve brought experience to Boston’s pitching staff, but plenty of fans believe Casas will work out to be a 40-home-run hitter and be more valuable than just a trade piece.<\/p>\n
