The baseball offseason continues to see player movement across teams, including interest from another NPB closer in joining MLB. The Boston Red Sox have claimed right-handed pitcher Max Castillo off waivers from the Kansas City Royals, filling their 40-man roster. Castillo, 24, has played 21 MLB games and was part of the trade that sent Whit Merrifield to Toronto. The Arizona Diamondbacks have added veteran catcher Tucker Barnhart on a minor league deal, with an invitation to MLB camp and a strong chance at a backup role. The San Diego Padres are close to finalizing an agreement with Korean right-handed pitcher Woo Suk Go, who is likely to become their closer. Moreover, the Royals have brought in Johnny DiPuglia from the Nationals, who resigned in September and is known for signing notable players including Juan Soto, Victor Robles, and Reynaldo Lopez.
