MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported Sunday that the Cincinnati Reds have been discussing starter Luis Castillo, as well as Sonny Gray, in trade talks this winter. (Jon Heyman via Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

The 28-year-old right-hander is coming off another strong season in which he registered a 3.21 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 89 K's in 70 IP. While Gray's name has been floated around for the past few weeks, this is the first we've heard of Castillo being possibly moved as well, as the Reds appear to be concerned about their payroll. The asking price is reportedly high, per Heyman, and rightfully so, given that Castillo has proven to be a front-of-the-rotation caliber starter with a career 3.62 ERA and 1.17 WHIP.
