Bosox without Pedroia can the Mets get creative

20

With Pedroia out for at least a month possibly the rest of the year. They are looking for a ML 2nd base veteran. They have no intrest to keep Lowell on the roster and he's eating a spot and its making the Sox desperate. Can we capitalize. I say we trade Castillo straight up for Lowell then DFA Tatis. This rids us of Castillo for next yr. Adds a good CI and bench bat who is off the books next yr. Plus it gets Tatis off this squad. I know this was rumored before but a desperate team in desperate measure might act on it. Castillo's injury maybe bad timing but if he can get back soon I would propose this offer. The down sign is that Cora gets more AB's but he's going to anyway. It also gives the Mets a better defense with Tejada.
