Boston Smith Trade Regret Narrative Emerges

A recent article highlights that Boston Smith, traded to Seattle in the Luis Castillo deal, is off to a hot start with the Mariners (27 HRs in first pro season). Castillo's rough debut (5 runs in 4 IP) added fuel to the 'one that got away' narrative, but his dominant second start (10 Ks, 7 IP, 1 hit) may quiet some critics. While it's early, the prospect regret angle is worth monitoring given the White Sox's catching depth issues and front office reluctance to trade top prospects.
