The Minnesota Twins dealt Luis Castillo to The New York Mets for catching prospect Drew Butera, and outfielder Dustin Martin.
A busy day for the NL East that saw Mark Teixeira and Ron Mahay move from Texas to The Atlanta Braves for catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, shortstop Elvis Andrus and two other minor leaguers. Official announcement of the trade will come later tonight or tomorrow.
Castillo, the three time gold glove second baseman will solidify the middle infield for The Mets. New York had been looking to fill the void following Jose Valentin's broken leg in late June.
Castillo took the news as best he could saying;
"I'm not feeling too good, because I like the team. I think it can do a lot, and I had fun last year, It's a little hard, but I need to put it out of my mind and go over there and do my thing, do the best I can do."
