Summary
The Mets are trading like a rebuild-minded team, refusing to absorb salary for their players — a sharp turn from last year’s contract-eating moves. For the Mariners, who need a power bat and a reliable reliever, this creates a major hurdle. Players like Luis Robert Jr. or Devin Williams are now off the table unless Seattle’s willing to shoulder full contracts. With Castillo as their most likely trade chip — a pitcher owed millions through 2027 — Seattle hopes to shed payroll and add offense. But the Mets aren’t biting: they want to shed veteran contracts, not take on more. If Seattle wants Castillo, they’ll likely have to trade premium prospects — essentially paying twice — to make it happen.
