Mariners considering trade for pitcher Luis Castillo before deadline

The Seattle Mariners may be open to trading Luis Castillo as the trade deadline approaches. Castillo has expressed frustration this season and, despite not being the pitcher he once was, could attract interest if placed on the trading block. With a surplus of pitching and Castillo's $24.15 million contract, Seattle might consider moving him to avoid potential injuries affecting their depth. A final decision is expected to be made closer to the July trade deadline.
