Story: Miguel Castro began 2020 as a member of the Baltimore Orioles, where he worked as a setup man in their bullpen. The Orioles were falling out of the playoff race by the trade deadline and flipped Castro to the Mets in a trade that netted them pitching prospect Kevin Smith and a player to be named later or cash considerations. Castro immediately started working in the back of the Mets’ bullpen but wasn’t a cure-all for a unit that needed a boost after the organization decided to put Seth Lugo in the rotation. The Mets saw Castro implode in the two biggest spots he was placed in, giving up two runs in extra innings of a critical Labor Day game against the Philadelphia Phillies and coughing up a run against the Washington Nationals on September 26 in a game the Mets needed to stay alive. Both of those losses fell on Castro’s ledger as New York was eliminated for the postseason.
