Report: Yankees 'targeting' Luis Castillo

Could the Yankees be gearing up to call the Reds about a starting pitcher? To stop you right there, Sonny Gray is not the guy.

Chris Moore of CBS Radio Sports Network/WFAN is suggesting that the team is interested in Luis Castillo. The 26-year-old is breaking out in his third big league season, posting a 7-2 record through 16 starts, with a 2.56 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 109 strikeouts.

With a team-friendly contract control through 2023, the intrigue is certainly there, but could prove costly. While the Yankees have the potential trade chips, you have to consider it may take a haul for the Reds to part ways with a pitcher who at the moment could be considered to be in the top three favorites for the National League Cy Young Award.
