MARLINS MOVE FOR JOSE CASTILLO
The Miami Marlins acquired pitcher Jose Castillo from the San Diego Padres for cash.
What does it give the Miami Marlins
Castillo has rarely been in the majors due to injury issues over the last few years. When active, he has posted a 4.24 ERA with 55 strikeouts. The Marlins hope he can stay healthy.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
The Padres designated Castillo for assignment last week. They will be happy with the cash, and this move also opens up a 40-man roster spot for another move–potentially.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact with this trade, as the Marlins optioned Castillo to Triple-A ball after the deal was completed.
