The Houston Astros aren’t slowing down, taking advantage of free agency to sign a RHP who previously played for the Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Yankees. They offered him a modest contract that could turn into a significant opportunity for him.

The Houston Astros are signing reliever Miguel Castro to a minor-league deal with an invitation to major-league spring training, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed Monday. Castro, 30, is a veteran right-hander who could compete for a bullpen spot in spring training or provide experienced upper-level depth.

Miguel Castro, the versatile veteran relief pitcher, has found a new home after signing a minor league deal with the Houston Astros, according to MLB insider Ari Alexander.
