The Mariners aren't necessarily inclined to trade the All-Star righty, but that doesn't mean that other teams aren't calling.
Over the last few days, the trade rumor mill with regards to Seattle Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo has run the full gamut.

Since the meetings ended, the rumors have died down, with reporters indicating that the M's don't want to trade Castillo, but they will if they are blown away by an offer.Dylan Cease ranks first in the majors with 130 starts the past four seasons. Castillo is tied for 11th with 121. His durability and 3.
The Mets have already signed Clay Holmes and Frankie Montas this offseason, but lack impact in the rotation, while the Orioles are destined to lose both John Means and Corbin Burnes.

They'd want to pair Castillo with the newly-acquired Garrett Crochet.
