Santiago Casilla News
The Colorado Rockies are signing free-agent relief pitcher Santiago Casilla on Thursday, according to sources. The 38-year-old veteran was released by the A's after he pitched to a 3.16 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 6.3 K/9 over 26 outings in 2018. He also walked a whopping 20 hitters in 31 1/3 innings. Casilla will provide the Rockies with some veteran bullpen depth.
Oakland Athletics reliever Santiago Casilla has been released and is now a free agent. He was designated for assignment prior to the All-Star break and clearly Oakland felt they had better bullpen options. On the season, Casilla has pitched to a 3.16 ERA and a 22/20 K/BB ratio. Casilla will likely get another opportunity at the MLB level as he'll only cost the veteran's minimum to sign. However, unless he sees save chances again, the former closer should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues.
The Oakland Athletics have designated relief pitcher Santiago Casilla for assignment. Casilla has a strong 3.16 ERA in 2018, however his 22/20 K/BB ratio is less than desirable. Clearly the A's felt like they were better off with the other options in their bullpen over Casilla. He'll likely pass through waivers before being released. There's a good shot Casilla gets another MLB opportunity, but if he isn't seeing save chances he isn't worth owning in fantasy.
