José Castillo has signed a contract with the Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball.

Castillo takes his talents overseas after being non-tendered by the Mets last month. The 29-year-old southpaw made relief appearances between the Mets, Diamondbacks, Orioles and Mariners last season, finishing with a respectable 3.94 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 30/14 K/BB ratio across 32 innings of work. He’ll aim to build up his long-term value in Japan before returning stateside in the future.

Orioles claimed LHP José Castillo off waivers from the Mariners.

Castillo heads to Baltimore’s injury-ravaged relief mix for the final two weeks of the season after a brief stint with the Mariners where he made three scoreless appearances. The 29-year-old lefty posted an encouraging 2.35 ERA across 15 1/3 innings (16 appearances) earlier this year for the Mets after getting lit up in a handful of early-season outings with the Diamondbacks.

Mariners designated LHP José Castillo for assignment.

The 29-year-old southpaw was claimed off of waivers from the Mets last week. He appeared in three games during his time with the M’s, hurling three scoreless innings with a 1/2 K/BB ratio. He’s talented enough that he may once again attract interest on waivers from teams in need of bullpen depth.

Mariners claimed LHP José Castillo off waivers from the Mets.

Castillo joins Seattle’s bullpen mix — potentially, anyway — after being designated for assignment at the end of August by New York. The 29-year-old could take the spot of Tayler Saucedo in the coming days, but obviously there’s no fantasy intrigue to that role.

Mets selected the contract of LHP José Castillo from Triple-A Syracuse.

Castillo has a 2.19 ERA in 12 1/3 innings out of the pen for the Mets this season, though he still cleared waivers after being designated for assignment late last month. He’s out of options, so he could go back on waivers again at some point.
