Signs with Mexican League team
Castro signed a contract with the Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican Baseball League on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The six-year major-league veteran spent last season with the Rockies, slashing just .252/.275/.314. Castro, 30, is a career .278 hitter and can play all over the field, but that evidently wasn't enough to garner much interest from big-league clubs.

Stat Review
How does Harold Castro compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Castro is the type of player who is more valuable in real life than he is in fantasy. He played in 120 games for the Tigers in 2022 and appeared at six defensive positions, though the club opted not to tender him a contract for 2023. Castro also batted a solid .271, which was actually the lowest mark of his five-year MLB career, as he's developed into a consistent contact hitter who has batted .300 or better twice. However, only 30 of Castro's 114 hits went for extra bases, and he produced a meager 47 RBI. Castro also failed to steal a base, and his lack of power or speed limits his fantasy appeal. All in all, Castro is a solid utility player who would boost plenty of MLB rosters, but contact hitters who don't steal bases don't move the needle much in fantasy leagues. Entering his age-29 season, Castro will have some productive moments, though there are certainly higher-upside options available.
