Jason Castro Contemplating Retirement After This Year
3 years agoHouston Astros catcher Jason Castro has told reporters he's considering retiring following the 2022 season, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Castro, 34, has played 11 seasons in the big leagues, amassing a .230/.315/.392 slash line with 96 HRs. He's been with the Astros for the majority of his career, playing in Houston for the first six seasons of his time in the league before returning in 2021. Last year, the veteran hit .235 with eight home runs, 22 runs, and 21 RBI across 66 games. He's projected to back up fellow backstop Martin Maldonado, so he won't be in line for a major increase in playing time. Thus, he won't have much of a fantasy impact, except possibly in AL-only leagues.
