The Mariners announced that they’ve traded righty
Luis F. Castillo to Baltimore for cash. Seattle had designated him for assignment yesterday as the corresponding move for the
Leody Taveras waiver claim. Baltimore optioned Castillo to Triple-A Norfolk and designated lefty
Walter Pennington for assignment to create a 40-man roster spot.
Castillo, the now-former teammate of the Seattle All-Star starter of the same name, has five major league appearances under his belt. He signed a minor league deal over the offseason and was selected onto the big league roster in early April. Castillo took a pair of turns through the rotation. He surrendered seven runs (six earned) on 12 hits and seven walks across seven innings. He struck out five.
