DEAL DONE: Philadelphia Phillies Announce the signing of an unexceptional pitcher shortly after …….

Castillo showed up in only one game at the MLB level a year prior for the Arizona Diamondbacks, however hit .313 with three grand slams, 72 RBIs, 13 taken bases and 97 strolls for Triple-A Reno. Castillo posted an impressive.841 OPS despite not having much power output.
He likewise streaked some guarded adaptability, which is significant for any potential hierarchical profundity piece to have. At Triple-A, Castillo saw time in left field, at a respectable halfway point, third base and shortstop.
Hitherto, 2024 hasn’t demonstrated to be an entirely steady year for Castillo. The Diamondbacks designated the 26-year-old for assignment in December, and the New York Mets claimed him on January 5. His experience with the Mets association was extremely concise, as he was assigned for task and guaranteed on waivers by the Yankees on Jan. 19. What’s more, the Phillies will presently act as the fourth association Castillo has been a piece of this offseason.
Asserting Castillo and finishing up the 40-man program doesn’t be guaranteed to mean the Phillies are finished taking actions this offseason. They had an open spot, so there truly wasn’t a lot to lose by guaranteeing him on waivers. In the event that the Phillies at last sign a veteran reliever or outfielder, it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to clear a 40-man spot for said underwriter. The Phillies could DFA Castillo. Or on the other hand perhaps the Phillies would keep Castillo and assign Rodolfo Castro for task. Kody Clemens, Darick Hall, Simón Muzziotti, Andrew Bellatti, Connor Brogdon, and Dylan Covey are among the 40-man roster players that the Phillies might consider trading before Opening Day to free up a spot or spots.
