I don’t think the Yanks have interest in Castellanos. I really like him and hope he stays in the NL. Would hate to see him sign with Boston or Toronto. Besides having a solid season, what opened my eyes was seeing him in a bench clearing brawl. The guy was going nuts. After seeing that and knowing he was a FA, he gained my admiration.
I would give up Dominguez or Volpe/Peralta for Reynolds if the Pirates have interest in trading him.

I agree with you on Castellanos, a switch went off in that brawl and he went Coco Puffs crazy. Him on Boston or Toronto would suck.
Only way I trade Dominguez is if I am getting 3-4 MLB studs in return. Chapman, Olsen, Manea, Montos type package.
I don't know I trust Reynolds yet. I worry he's one of those fly under the radar types in a small market who maybe can't translate that talent over into a big market. I would put Mullins, K.Marte, Merrifield ahead of Reynolds.

Interesting Yankee news today. They should sign Betances as well. The B & B boys were awesome prospects.
The Yankees have signed Manny Banuelos to a minor league deal.
Banuelos, 30, was part of the Yankees minor league system from 2008 through 2014 but never made the big leagues with the team.
In 2015 Banuelos made the major leagues with the Braves appearing in seven games, six starts.
He would not return to the majors until 2019 where he appeared in 16 games for the White Sox, including eight starts.
Banuelos big league line is 4-8 with a 6.31 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and an ERA+ of 76 across 77 innings.
Last season Banuelos pitched in the Chinese Professional Baseball League and most recently the Mexican League. His signing gives the Yankees depth.

It was a move to provide minor league depth. The Yankees had such high hopes Banuelos, as did I, it costs them nothing to take a flyer.
Yes, I was in jest about signing Betances but so much was made about these two kids at the time.
What is more troubling was that the Mets STOLE Eric Chavez away from the Yankees to be their hitting coach. Someone has to take heat for that. (He was signed a assistant hitting coach)

There was a third kid along with the above mentioned two who together comprised the killer "B's", Andrew Brackman.
A first round pick who needed TJ surgery immediately. Boras was his agent and forced the Yankees to give him a Major League contract which shortened the time the Yankees could develop him in the minors.
He was tall and could never get his mechanics together, had like one start with the Yankees.

Manny B is a cheap flier, plus he is a lefty. Look what they did with Luetge last season? They must see something in him that makes them think they can get him up to par to face MLB hitters.
As far as Dellin B goes, he had such an awkward windup and delivery, plus the Yankees used him A LOT, no wonder he broke down. BUT, that said, I WOULD take a flier on him too. Guy has pitched 13 1/3 innings COMBINED the last three years. Can't say he isn't well rested, plus I think deep down he ALWAYS wanted to remain a Yankee.
Why Not?
