Phillies Trade Rumors: Bailey Falter Traded to Pittsburgh for Rodolfo Castro

Phillies Trade Rumors: Bailey Falter Traded to Pittsburgh for Rodolfo Castro Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

 

In a move made right before the 6:00 PM Major League Baseball trade deadline, the Philadelphia Phillies have dealt left-handed pitcher Bailey Falter to Pittsburgh in exchange for utility infielder Rodolfo Castro.  Baseball scribe Jayson Stark was the first to report the trade.

Castro, 24, is slashing .228/.299/.396 with six homers, 22 RBIs, and a .695 OPS in 78-games with the Pittsburgh Pirates this season.  He has logged time at second base, shortstop, third base, and designated hitter this season for the Buccos.  He was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis earlier this month.

So…yeah.  Castro will likely be a utilityman for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
