Is it a good thing that the Reds didn't take the offer.

Who the Yankees did — and did not — offer to get Luis Castillo

The Yankees tried hard for Luis Castillo, offering top prospect Jasson Dominguez in packages, according to sources. Nevertheless, they held firm on Anthony Volpe, and possibly also Oswald Peraza, two of the Reds’ targets, and Cincinnati ultimately decided they preferred the Mariners’ four-prospect offer that included Noelvi Marte. Castillo has now shut down the Yankees twice since the deadline.

Dominguez is a terrific hitting prospect, and though one scout suggested Dominguez may not ultimately be a center fielder, the same criticism is heard about Marte, a major power prospect who some see moving from short to third.
