New York Mets among teams checking in on Cincinnati Reds ace Luis Castillo

The Cincinnati Reds began this iteration of rebuilding when they basically gave away Raisel Iglesias a year and a half ago. Since then, they’ve been shedding everything they possibly can that includes any sort of contract, with the jettisoning of Jesse Winker, Eugenio Suarez, Sonny Gray, Tucker Barnhart, Wade Miley, and Co. having served as the next phase of the Castellini family’s efforts to gut the club and go cheap.

That effort to rebuild paired with the parallel effort to get cheap means that even those established players still around are seemingly unlikely to get any sort of guaranteed money via contract extensions.
