The Chiba Lotte Marines have signed left-hander Jose Castillo after the Mets non-tendered him, opting against his projected $1.7MM arbitration salary. Castillo had a tumultuous 2025 season, pitching for four MLB teams and posting a 3.94 ERA over 32 innings, and now seeks stability in Japan, with potential future opportunities in North American baseball given his age and strikeout ability.
