The Boston Red Sox came into the offseason needing to make serious moves. They needed to gain ground on the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles in the loaded American League East.
After whiffing on superstar Juan Soto in free agency, Boston pivoted to a blockbuster trade that landed the Red Sox an ace from the Windy City. Boston acquired Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox in a massive deal.
The Red Sox could still look to acquire another starter before opening day. The team to trade with is clearly the Seattle Mariners. Seattle needs an infielder and the Red Sox could afford to move first baseman Triston Casas. The Mariners would reportedly prefer to trade Luis Castillo if they’re going to move a pitcher, but starter Bryan Woo would make more sense for the Red Sox.
Here’s a trade that could bring Woo to the Red Sox in a package centered around young star Triston Casas:
- Boston Red Sox receive: RHP Bryan Woo
- Seattle Mariners receive: 1B Triston Casas, OF Allan Castro (No. 14 prospect), RHP Luis Guerrero (No. 27 prospect)
Woo is an incredibly talented 24-year-old pitcher. Last season, he made 22 starts and posted a 2.89 ERA. The right-hander was also among the league’s best in WHIP, where he held a 0.89 WHIP for the season. His potential is a top-of-the-rotation ace.
Casas is also an incredibly talented 24-year-old and a lot of people seem to overlook that. The first baseman posted a 129 OPS+ in 2023 but spent most of last season injured. His potential allows him to be a huge piece in this blockbuster proposal.
Castro, 21, is a well-rounded prospect with a very high floor. The Mariners don’t need win-now outfielders, but they could use an upgrade in their farm system.
Guerrero would likely slot into the Mariners bullpen in 2025. The righty has multiple elite pitches that allow him to be a very high-potential reliever.
Both sides gain a high-potential 24-year-old at a position of need. The Mariners also add two solid prospects in the deal as well.
