Signs on with Rangers
Castillo signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Dec. 18.
ANALYSIS
Castillo had a rough 2023 campaign, collecting a 6.23 ERA in eight appearances for the Mariners and a 5.13 ERA and 50:35 K:BB across 47.1 frames at Triple-A Tacoma. Both his velocity and control have trended in the wrong direction in recent seasons. Still, Castillo will turn just 30 next month, and a pitcher with his track record seems worthy of a roll of the dice on a minor-league deal.

Castillo usually gives you a little bit of everything, including seven wins, nine holds and seven saves last season with Seattle. Historically, strikeouts and solid ratios have been part of the package too, but the right-hander's strikeout rate dropped 8.3 percentage points to a career-low 23.9% last year. Castillo's walk rate went in the wrong direction too, though he's always had trouble with his control, walking over three batters per nine innings for his career. On the plus side, he allowed a mere 30.6% hard hit percentage (95th percentile) with a career-best home run rate (0.8 HR/9). Castillo should reprise his high-leverage role for Seattle in 2023, but Paul Sewald and Andres Munoz are likely ahead of him in the pecking order for saves.
