As pitchers and catchers took the field for the first time at the Ed Smith Stadium complex Feb. 14, the Orioles had a new catcher in charge.
With Matt Wieters, who was the team's No. 1 catcher for nearly eight seasons, still looking for a new address, Welington Castillo, who replaces him, is getting to know his team.
Castillo, who was non-tendered by Arizona, was signed as Wieters' replacement Dec. 16, 2016. He signed a $6 million contract with a $7 million player option for 2018.
While at first torn about whether to represent the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, Castillo finally decided that it was something he wanted to do.
