 The Houston Astros have reached an agreement with reliever Miguel Castro, as reported by Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 clarified that it’s a minor league contract with a non-roster Spring Training invite. If Castro makes the MLB roster, he would secure a $1.5 million base salary.
Miguel Castro, who just turned 30, is aiming to make an MLB roster for the 11th consecutive year. Known for his well-traveled career, Castro has played for six different teams throughout his time in the majors. With nearly 500 MLB innings under his belt, Castro holds a career earned run average (ERA) of 4.20. His consistent performance has seen him maintain an ERA in the low-4.00s range, including a 4.31 ERA in a National League-high 75 appearances for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023, which activated a $5 million vesting option for the 2024 season. The Astros are bringing Castro into their Spring Training camp with the hope that he can add depth and experience to their bullpen. Given Castro's track record and ability to handle a significant workload, the team is optimistic about his potential contribution. If Castro impresses during Spring Training, he could secure a spot on Houston's roster, providing valuable innings and stability.
