The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-hander Miguel Castro from the Houston Astros in exchange for cash considerations. Castro, who has been performing well at the Triple-A level with a 2.29 ERA, was not in Houston's plans despite his solid statistics. The White Sox, dealing with a struggling bullpen and sitting at the bottom of the American League standings, see potential in Castro to enhance their relief options and possibly position him as a trade candidate by midseason. The move is aligned with their ongoing rebuilding strategy.
"Despite solid statistics at Triple-A, Astros management opted to trade Castro rather than call him up, indicating their need for roster flexibility and development priorities."
"The White Sox, currently struggling in the bullpen with a 4.42 ERA, are looking to utilize Castro as a potential solution while rebuilding their team."
