Longtime Tigers Utility Man Signs 2-Year Deal with Rockies

Versatile infielder/outfielder Willi Castro signed a two-year, $12.8 million deal with the Colorado Rockies on Thursday.
Facing roster gaps, the Colorado Rockies needed infield depth after roster turnover and defensive struggles, and the Castro signing followed finalizing Michael Lorenzen earlier this month.
A closer look at his recent seasons reveals Willi Castro played six positions for Minnesota in 2024 and posted 5.4 fWAR with a 2024 All-Star selection.
Designating Blalock freed a roster slot, and Colorado Rockies must make a 40-man roster move to finalize the signing, which the club had not officially announced Thursday.
Castro will report to spring training in February as the Colorado Rockies aim to rebound and build momentum, providing roster flexibility and mentoring younger players during the rebuild.
