Hate to say this, but I can now see the Reds trading Castillo for 2-3 major players if the deal blows them away. Castillo is THE hot commodity now that the Reds are falling in standings. See how the Reds do over the next 10 games but it does not look good.
Castillo is signed for several seasons . . . he's not going anywhere until his last year. If he continues on this path, they'll hopefully lock him up long term but they'll probably move him in his final year when/if they're out of it.
I honestly think that Bell's overuse of Hernandez early in the year has him burned out . . . he's in his 30s . . . not every player can recover like they did in their 20s. Bell flat out sucked early on, then he had a stretch where he wasn't making too many boneheaded decisions but he just can't get out of his own way. Sometimes it looks like he makes a move just to make a move. He's making the wrong decisions again and he's doing them in bunches. A struggling, overworked Hernandez should NOT have been the first pitcher out of the pen after the All-Star break in a one run game IN COLOFREEKINGRADO of all places.
Like I've said before, I watched Mike Scioscia make decisions for 19 years and I don't remember shaking my head or yelling at the TV but that's now almost a daily thing with Dumb Bell.
