2023 6th (TEX)
Rangers are taking a gamble here by dealing number of power hitting prospects but feel it is worth the gamble as Castillo should be the clear ace on our staff. Also, looking at out minors, we still have numerous really touted prospects we value highly and were able to retain even though we pursued a high end SP. The 2 prospects we gain may be underrated but time will tell on them. The real helpful part here is the salary relief as now the team will have a bit of breathing room to operate with going forward. This flexibility will enable the club to make some moves envisioned before, but never put into action due to cap issues.
Nice dealings, Marlins
