6/24/25	Yankees Make Sense For 'Highly Talked-About' Infielder. If that's the job description New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman posts ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline, then Willi Castro could be his man, according to the New York Post's Joel Sherman. "If the Twins do become sellers, I could see Castro becoming a highly talked-about player in the industry because he is in his walk year and he is adaptable to nearly any team's needs as a switch-hitter (who has particularly crushed lefty pitching) while playing every position this year except catcher and first base," Sherman wrote Tuesday. The 28-year-old Castro makes just $6.4 million this season, after which he will be a free agent. Joining a club like the Yankees, which reached the World Series last season, shouldn't bother Castro because his playoff-tested. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/news/new-york-yanke...

6/15/25	Twins walked off for second straight day in Houston. HOUSTON — In the minutes after the Twins were walked off by the Houston Astros, Willi Castro was still trying to piece together what, exactly, had happened. Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón hit a ball to Castro in left that he leapt for it looked like it hit his glove before rattling off the wall. But with a quirky outfield design at the ballpark, it was hard to tell. “I saw it,” Castro ... Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/twins-walked-off-...

5/31/25	Minnesota Twins made MLB history in epic comeback win over Mariners. No team in modern MLB history has ever done exactly what the Twins did in Friday night's epic comeback win in Seattle. With two outs in the top of the ninth inning, the Twins trailed 6-3 and had a runner at first base. Star Mariners closer Andres Muñoz, who had a 0.00 ERA through 23.2 innings coming into the game, just needed one final out to secure a series-opening win for the home team.

5/06/25	Royce Lewis is tired of being the injured guy, back with the Twins again with hope of better health. The more he's not on the field with the Minnesota Twins, the more frustration he has felt. “I'm tired of being the guy on the IL,” Lewis said. After missing the first 35 games of the season because of a moderate strain of his left hamstring that occurred while running out a ground ball in spring training, Lewis was back in the lineup batting fifth as the designated hitter. The Twins, who also got multi-position player Willi Castro back on Tuesday from a strained right oblique muscle that cost him 16 games, have been lacking the hitting punch and general spunk that Lewis typically provides.

He has made starts at second base, shortstop, third base, all three outfield spots and as a designated hitter.

4/01/25	Twins drop to 0-4 after nearly getting no-hit in shutout against White Sox. There's a lot of baseball left to be played. That's what we need to keep telling ourselves, Twins fans. The Twins now sit 0-4 to start the season after a 9-0 rout at the hands of the Chicago White Sox yesterday afternoon. To make it worse, the Twins did not register a hit until Willi Castro poked a single into right field. It would be one of only two hits for the Twins. This is now only the fifth time since the introduction of the Twins in 1961 that the club has started 0-4. Carlos Correa saying, “It's not about losing the games, it's about the way we're playing collectively right now. We've got to get better.

10/16/24	Willi Castro named Most Valuable Twin as team announces Diamond Award winners. It was nearly impossible to tear Willi Castro off the field this year as the utilityman bounced from position to position for the Twins, playing in 158 games. The 27-year-old, who wrote his name in the record books as the only player in Major League Baseball history to play 25 or more games at five different defensive players in a season, was rewarded by being named to his first All-Star Game in July and being named a Gold Glove Award finalist on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he was announced as the Most Valuable Twin and will be honored at the 20th annual Diamond Awards that will take place on Jan. 23 at the Armory in downtown Minneapolis.
