Twins selected RHP Eiberson Castellano from the Phillies with the ninth pick of the 2024 Rule 5 draft.
Castellano is a 23-year-old right-hander who reached Double-A last year, and he forged a 3.99 ERA in 22 appearances — 20 starts — with an impressive 136/29 K/BB over 103 2/3 innings. His starting background may be the long-term play, but he’ll obviously need to be a bullpen piece if he’s going to make the Twins in 2025.
