Mets trade Miguel Castro to Yankees for Joely Rodríguez

The Mets have traded 27-year-old right-handed relief pitcher Miguel Castro to the Yankees for 30-year-old left-handed reliever Joely Rodríguez.

Castro came to the Mets in a trade from the Orioles during the shortened 2020 season, and in 79.1 innings since that trade, he had a 3.52 ERA with 10.3 strikeouts and 5.8 walks per nine innings.

Rodríguez signed with the Pirates out of the Dominican Republic back in 2009 and was traded to the Phillies in exchange for Antonio Bastardo in 2014. He proceeded to make his big league debut with Philadelphia in 2016 and threw 36.
