Diego Castillo Traded From Mets to Royals on May 23, 2025

The Royals have added a new shortstop. This move might impact Bobby Witt Jr., who has been the primary shortstop with a .305 average and 5 home runs. Maikel Garcia could also see changes, as he is listed second on the depth chart for shortstop.

The trade comes before the Royals' game against the Twins at Target Field. No season stats are available for the new player. This makes it hard to predict immediate impacts on the lineup or performance in upcoming games.
