White Sox Deal Signals Desperation in South Side The Chicago White Sox have traded for right handed pitcher Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners.
The acquisition marks a significant commitment to bolstering their struggling rotation, with Castillo still owed $40 million over the next two seasons as part of his five year, $108 million contract.
Castillo's numbers this season are underwhelming – a 5. 06 ERA in 17 starts – but his career statistics and postseason experience make him an intriguing addition.
