The New York Mets added a left-hander to their bullpen on Thursday, acquiring Jose Castillo from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for cash considerations.
Castillo has pitched in parts of five seasons in the majors, debuting for the San Diego Padres in 2018. The Venezuela native excelled, fanning 52 in 38u2153 relief innings while going 3-3 with a 3.29 ERA and 12 walks.
But injuries limited the 29-year-old to only two innings in the majors from 2019-23.
Castillo signed a minor league deal with Arizona in December 2023 and made 21 appearances for Triple-A Reno in 2024.
