Willi Castro, a versatile player capable of covering multiple infield and outfield positions, has agreed to a two-year contract with the Colorado Rockies. This signing was announced on Thursday, January 15, 2026, following negotiations. Castro spent the previous season with the Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs, demonstrating his adaptability by playing all outfield positions, shortstop, and third base.

During the 2025 season, Castro posted a combined .226 batting average with 11 home runs and 33 RBIs across both teams. His ability to play various defensive roles, including pitching an inning for the Twins, makes him a valuable asset for any club. Castro debuted in Major League Baseball in August 2019 with the Detroit Tigers.

Earlier on Thursday, the Rockies also finalized the signing of pitcher Michael Lorenzen to a one-year deal. To make room for Castro on the roster, pitcher Bradley Blalock was designated for assignment. These moves indicate the Rockies are actively strengthening their squad for the upcoming season.
