MIGUEL CASTRO FOR KEVIN SMITH

The New York Mets acquired pitcher Miguel Castro from the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Kevin Smith and a player to be named later (Victor Gonzalez - 09/20/2020).

What does it give the New York Mets
In Castro, the Mets get a solid reliever who can be overpowering at times. He figures to help a New York bullpen that has struggled somewhat this season.

What does it give the Baltimore Orioles
The O's moved a solid reliever for a potential starter in Smith, who has already reached Double-A ball. He could be a rotation option as early as 2021.

Fantasy impact
Both Castro and Smith are on the fantasy radar, especially for deep keeper leagues. Keep an eye on both pitchers.
