Luis Castillo will join several former Reds who now play for the Mariners

Jesse Winker has is correct, the Mariners may want to rename their franchise the Seattle Redlegs. After trading for Luis Castillo, Seattle has become the Queen City of the Pacific Northwest.

Castillo was dealt to the Mariners last night and in return the Cincinnati Reds received a nice haul of some very coveted prospects. Cincinnati was able to snag shortstops Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo along with right-handed pitchers Andrew Moore and Levi Stoudt.

Castillo, who won't have to cut his hair since Yankees' GM Brian Cashman got stingy with this prospects, will likely draw his first start for his new club sometime early next week. When Castillo does make his Mariners debut, he'll be joining a whole host of former Cincinnati Reds.

Luis Castillo will join several former Reds who now play for the Mariners.

Perhaps Luis Castillo can convince his new teammate Ken Giles to fork over No. 58. If not, I'm sure the Seattle Mariners will have a nicely pressed jersey ready for La Piedra when he arrives in the Emerald City.

He'll be welcomed by former teammates Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suárez. The duo were part of trade earlier this season that saw Cincinnati receive two pitching prospects along with Justin Dunn and Jake Fraley.

Geno has put up the type of numbers you'd expect. Suárez leads the M's in strikeouts (137) but is second on the team in home runs (16). Winker, on the other hand, has struggled with a .675 OPS and a slugging percentage of just .340.

Also is Seattle is Cincinnati's former top prospect Taylor Trammell. The 24-year-old is currently on the IL and has played in just 32 games for the Mariners this season while hitting .235/.323/.457.

In addition to Geno, Winker, and Trammell, the Seattle Mariners also have four former Cincinnati Reds down at Triple-A Tacoma. Alex Blandino, Trey Amburgey, Scott Heineman, and Riley O'Brien. With the Reds unlikely to make it to the postseason for a second consecutive season, at least the Cincinnati faithful will have a team to cheer for in the playoffs.
