Stanton won't win or lose them a championship. Neither will Castro.
Fact of the matter is Cashman who has been brutal and should have been fired by now made some nice deals to load up the farm over the past 600 days. Now they can take on a Stanton while still having 3-4 years of minimum salary big prospects to try to win a ship.
They need pitching yes, however they can pick up a rental before the deadline for cheap, and already have Tanaka Severino and Gray which isn't horrible.
PLUS... you never know if a rookie is gonna come out of nowhere and carry them down the stretch.
