Jason Castro Agrees To Deal With Astros
4 years agoThe Houston Astros reached a two-year, $7 million deal with catcher Jason Castro on Thursday, according to sources. The deal includes $2 million in performance bonuses based on games played in 2021. Castro returns to Houston after spending his first six major leagues seasons with the Astros. He was an All-Star with the club in 2013. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter batted just .188 with two home runs and nine RBI with the Angels and Padres in 27 games in 2020. Castro has always been known as a defense-first backstop, with a .230 career batting average. He's expected to split playing time behind the dish in his return to Houston with Martin Maldonado. At best, Castro is an option for fantasy managers in two-catcher formats.
