Twins Acquire Castillo From Marlins
The Florida Marlins‘ payroll purge left a gaping hole at second base Friday when they traded Luis Castillo to the Minnesota Twins for two pitching prospects.
The departure of Castillo, a three-time All-Star and the Marlins’ career leader in six major categories, was the latest move by the franchise to cut costs after repeated bids for a new ballpark failed.
Slugger Carlos Delgado, ace Josh Beckett and third baseman Mike Lowell were traded last week, and center fielder Juan Pierre and catcher Paul Lo Duca are on the block.
