Noble: Castillo To Take Physical

Marty Noble of MLB.com confirms that the only thing between the Mets and a four year, $25 million contract with Luis Castillo is a physical.

Noble also confirms the Mets interest in St. Louis shortstop David Eckstein as a second baseman. Noble suggests that Eckstein was actually the teams first choice at second base but I choose to believe they spoke with Eckstein to (a) show Castillo that they are serious about the position and (b) plan for the possibility that Castillo may sign elsewhere since he was on the open market.
