The Luis Castillo Conversation on Every Level + Logan Gilbert Theory + Alex Hoppe Re-AIR

About this episode

Brady discusses the Luis Castillo situation, the potential return of Bryce Miller, and re-airs a conversation with Alex Hoppe.

Brady talks about the Luis Castillo situation from each level. What happened on Monday night in Minnesota and what can the M's reasonably expect moving forward? How about when Bryce Miller returns, and could Castillo work in the bullpen? Does any of this change Kade Anderson's timeline? Brady is also starting to wonder something about Logan Gilbert and with Alex Hoppe making his Mariners' debut, we re-air a portion of our conversation with him from December 2025, right after he was acquired.
