Wow, Ensberg is the anti-Twin type of player.

Done deal according to Rotoworld:

 

Luis Castillo-2B-Mets Jul. 30 - 6:57 pm et

 

Mets acquired second baseman Luis Castillo from the Twins for outfielder Dustin Martin and catcher Drew Butera.

We understand why some Mets fans wanted to stick with Ruben Gotay, but Castillo remains the better bet on offense and is clearly better defensively. Considering the Mets gave up next to nothing to get him and likely will reap a supplemental first-round pick if they let him go at the end of the year, this is a big win for Omar Minaya. Castillo will start at second base most of the time and should take over as the Mets' No. 2 hitter. Gotay can play day games after night games. Carlos Beltran will likely go on the DL to open up a roster spot tomorrow.

this could be big news for my cousin Matt Tolbert, plays middle infield for the AAA Twins organization.

 

edit: nevermind, they called up Alexi Casilla to fill Castillo's slot at 2nd.
