Across 19.2 innings at Triple-A, he had a 2.29 ERA with 20 strikeouts. Castro reportedly had an upcoming opt-out clause in his contract in early June.

Castillo has played in parts of five MLB seasons dating back to 2018. He debuted with the San Diego Padres in 2018, making 37 appearances and sporting a 3.29 ERA out of the bullpen. Then, he made just one MLB appearance in each of the 2019, 2022 and 2023 seasons. The Mets were in need of a left-handed reliever, so they'll hope Castillo fills the void in their bullpen.
