"Castro just turned 31 a few weeks ago, but the well-traveled right-hander has already pitched for seven teams across parts of 11 major league seasons. Because he debuted as a 20-year-old and has managed to stick in the majors for the bulk of the past decade, he's just three days from reaching nine full years of major league service time."
"In parts of 11 seasons, Castro has pitched 466 2/3 innings, almost exclusively in relief. (He has four "starts" in his career, though they've been as an opener in a bullpen game.) Listed at an incredibly lanky 6'7″ and 201 pounds, Castro owns a lifetime 4.24 ERA in the big leagues. His strikeout and walk rates of 20.4% and 11.7%, respectively, are both worse than average."
The Angels signed veteran right-handed reliever Miguel Castro to a minor league contract and invited him to big-league camp as a non-roster invitee. Castro is 31 and has pitched parts of 11 major-league seasons for seven teams, debuting at age 20 and sitting three days shy of nine years of service time. He began 2025 with the Astros, was traded to the White Sox, made six MLB appearances before suffering a torn patellar tendon while covering first base, and missed the rest of the season. Castro has 466 2/3 innings, a 4.24 career ERA, high strikeout and walk rates, strong ground-ball tendencies driven by a high-velocity sinker whose velocity remained near career levels in Triple-A.
