Luis Castillo traded to the Mets

Minnesota gets catcher Drew Butera, who will report to Double-A New Britain, and outfielder Dustin Martin, who will go to Class-A Fort Myers. The deal, which came together in less than 24 hours, was completed one day before the deadline for making trades without waivers.
Guess Omar’s not feeling the Gotay/Easley platoon at second base. Castillo was hitting .304 with 18 RBI and 54 runs. Some rumors before the deadline: Carlos Gomez for Eric Gagne? Mets to grab Jeff Conine from the Reds? The fellas at bobbysketch will have another Shackburger?
