Luis Castillo a Met?
Joe Christensen says it's about to happen.
Could Alexi Casilla already be on his way to the Twin Cities?
Update: It looks like the deal is as good as done...just a few details to work out. Castillo is in the lineup for the Twins tonight, but that would obviously change the minute the deal is finalized and the Twins would be short one player for the game until someone (presumably Casilla) can be recalled tomorrow.
The two players the Twins are rumored to be getting in return will almost certainly not have much of an impact on the Twins' future, but it was unlikely the Twins would get anything for Castillo when he walked as a free agent at the end of the year.
Drew Butera is a light-hitting catcher currently at the Mets' AA level. He batted .258 with 5 HRs in 182 at-bats at the A level and has batted .188 with 1 HR at the AA level.
Dustin Martin is an A-level outfielder whose batting .287 with 5 HRs and 11 SBs in 363 at-bats.
Both are 23 years of age.
