One former member of the Boston Red Sox has found himself a new home in a new baseball league. There's a brand-new baseball league set to kick off in 2023 called Baseball United.
Castillo signed a seven-year, $72.5M deal with the Red Sox in 2014 after Major League Baseball declared him a free agent, but he never lived up to the lofty expectations that followed.
Former Red Sox outfielder Rusney Castillo is returning to the United States, as he has signed a minor-league contract with the Washington Nationals, per the team’s transaction log.
If there was any chance that former Red Sox outfielder Rusney Castillo would return to the major-, or minor-, leagues in 2021, those hopes officially went out the window on Saturday.
