Losing the injury lottery (Stephan) along with falling on the wrong side of DFA's has my bullpen thinner than I'd like. Trading half of 2025 (maybe more) and 2026 to add an RP who will help me now. Long winding journey on Castro, but we finally found some common ground. ANTBOL.

Diamondbacks Accept:
Myself and Bert have been talking about Castro for several months now, I'm very happy we found some common ground and came to an agreement. 2024 doesn't look very promising for me so I'm sending Castro to a contender that may have more use for him. I did intend on using that juicy 30% discount to retain Castro but free agency is so unexpected and I have a few other pending free agents that probably need more attention.

For what I'm getting I LOVE LOVE Matt Svanson I have been following him since last year and I think he has some nice potential to be a setup man in the show. I think his floor is really high due to his strike throwing abilities so he should make it to the show. For Trevor Stephan I do need to wait awhile until he contributes for me but he has a nice track record so just gotta be patient with this one.

Castro has been dropped on Fantrax.

Good luck Bert.
