Jorge Castillo of ESPN is reporting that the Braves are interested in potentially adding free agent utility man Willi Castro to the squad. They'll have to deal with competition though, as apparently both the Rockies and Pirates are also checking in on Castro as well. Castro picked a pretty bad time to enter the offseason on a down note.

Castro landed the final spot on MLBTR's ranking of the offseason's top 50 free agents, with a prediction of a two-year, $14MM contract as Castro enters his age-29 season. The multi-year pact reflects Castro's extreme versatility as a player who has lined up at every position but catcher over his seven Major League seasons. While Castro is an average defender at best, his ability to at least capably handle multiple spots around the diamond makes him a bit of a Swiss Army knife type

The Yankees made a significant move by acquiring Ryan McMahon from Colorado, addressing their need for a third baseman as they look to bolster their infield options further.

The Minnesota Twins are experiencing a rollercoaster season, currently at 15-20, but gained momentum with the activations of Royce Lewis and Willi Castro.
