Did it happen, it was rumoured last night with Roslovic involved?

I don't believe the Reds are interested in moving Castillo. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/01/pitching-notes-castillo-reds-anibal-red-sox-cora.html

RIP "Hammerin' Hank"

No numbers have been leaked on him or Bauer, in this market it's anyone's guess, I'd say 15m on a single year might do it.

From Kenny Ken @ the Athletic, Jays still in on Bauer as SN suggests as well... By Ken Rosenthal Jan 22, 2021 144 (Editor’s note: This story has been updated with additional information about Bauer’s social media interactions and a statement from Bauer.) The Mets are considering signing free-agent right-hander Trevor Bauer, a move that, coming days after the team’s firing of general manager Jared Porter for sexual harassment, would invite a different form of scrutiny for the club. Bauer, the top pitcher on the open market, never has been accused of doing anything as egregious as Porter. But he is an active and occasionally controversial social-media presence, and the Mets are aware his addition would renew questions about the team’s culture. In 2019, a student at Texas State University, Nikki Giles, said she felt harassed by a series of tweets from Bauer. Bauer’s exchange with Giles was not sexual, but he later acknowledged on Twitter that it was out of line. “I have been made aware that some of the interactions related to a specific Twitter exchange may have had a negative impact,” Bauer said. “That was not my intention. I will wield the responsibility of my public platform more responsibly in the future.” Bauer, however, got into another Twitter conflict in August, after New York Daily News writer Kate Feldman responded to his promotion of a video in which he discussed a potential COVID-19 outbreak among the Reds. Feldman said, “When you’re definitely worried about the health and safety of your teammates . . .” Bauer replied, “When you’re definitely terrible at your job or desperate for someone to notice you. Here, let me send more followers your way. Have a wonderful day.” “I had death threats and Holocaust jokes in my mentions for months after he went after me,” Feldman tweeted Friday night. “I didn’t tag him. I didn’t even (quote tweet) him. This is what his followers did after he told them to go after me. This is OK with his agent, reporters and, I guess, the Mets.” Bauer frequently responds to fans on Twitter, male and female, who he believes are provoking him or seeking attention. He had at least one other tweet in recent months that caused some of his followers to go after the recipient, exposing her to their harassment. In general, the fallout for women on Twitter is harsher than it is for men. In a statement on Friday, Bauer said, “I have always tried to be an open book and appreciate that social media gives me a platform to have an open dialogue with fans and the greater public. I don’t shy away from confrontation and am often quick to defend myself, but I am by no means a bully and I take great offense to my character being called into question. I understand what comes with having a following on social media but I have never asked for nor do I condone anyone making threats or lewd comments on my behalf.” Some in baseball also take exception with Bauer’s personality, but he was well-liked by his Reds teammates last season while producing a 1.73 ERA in 73 innings and winning the National League Cy Young Award. The Mets are not the only club talking about signing him. The Dodgers and Blue Jays are among the other clubs believed to be in the mix. The Twins are not, sources said, in response to an earlier version of this story. The Mets’ interest in Bauer is not new, but sources said it has become more focused in recent days, in the wake of the Blue Jays reaching an agreement with free-agent outfielder George Springer on a six-year, $150 million contract. The Blue Jays struck their deal with Springer on Tuesday, the same day the Mets dismissed Porter after an ESPN report revealed that he had sent a journalist from a foreign country explicit, unsolicited photos, including a photo of a naked penis. The Mets had targeted Springer and appear likely to sign shortstop Francisco Lindor, whom they acquired in a trade earlier this month from the Indians, to a contract extension worth more than $300 million. The addition of Bauer likely would put them over the $210 million luxury-tax threshold, recently described by team president Sandy Alderson as a “significant demarcation.” But the team also has maintained it might be willing to exceed the threshold for certain players. The price Bauer would command is unclear. Entering his age-30 season, he is open to both short- and long-term contracts. The Mets, like the Dodgers, likely would prefer a short-term deal with a high average annual value. And because Bauer rejected the Reds’ qualifying offer, the Mets would forfeit their second-highest pick in the draft and $500,000 from their international bonus pool if they signed him.

Welp...

No, common sense. So why'd you ask, if you know FFS's? Both can play 3rd but defensively Didi is far better and he has a cannon, long known in the MLB is his defense and arm are great, the bat is gravy, leave Cavan at 2nd he's fine there. Two other guys replied to you, why no snark? Also, Laika I'm not in that "noodle arm" group, that too is absurd. ABC's of ball, lol.

Booyah... Buds!

Ross Atkins beating Chewy at 5D Chess like a boss!!!
