Orioles' Welington Castillo: Lands with Orioles on one-year deal

Castillo agreed to a one-year contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball reports. The deal includes a player option for a second year.

The deal is worth $6 million in the first year and $7 million for the option year, per Heyman. Castillo will replace Matt Wieters behind the plate for the Orioles after getting non-tendered by the Diamondbacks, moving from one homer-friendly park to another. The 29-year-old posted solid offensive numbers for a catcher in 2016, slashing .264/.322/.423 with 14 home runs and 68 RBI, but that represented a small decline in power from his 2015 season. He may also see some designated hitter opportunities on days where Caleb Joseph takes over behind the plate.
