The Mariners are open to trading Luis Castillo, but they haven't received the sort of offers they were hoping to get.

The Seattle Mariners are still trying to find solutions in the infield and seem to be getting walled in the trade market.

Interest in Castillo increased significantly after the New York Yankees signed free-agent lefty Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million contract, a Mariners source said. Castillo, 32, is owed less than one third that amount — $68.25 million over the next three years.

The Mariners have an opportunity to use some of their excellent starting pitching depth to improve the offense but the team has doubts.

One-time Seattle Mariners slugger Teoscar Hernandez was awarded by the Los Angeles Dodgers for his solid 2024 season with a $66 million contract.

The Seattle Mariners entered the offseason with clear needs to address. Yet another whiff at second base has left them looking for almost an entirely new infield.
