The Baltimore Orioles and Matt Wieters were tied together for so long it may be inconceivable to think of any other catcher in black and orange. But the Orioles moved on from Wieters and signed Welington Castillo as his replacement Dec. 16, 2016.
Castillo may still be unfamiliar to many Orioles fans. Except for six games with Seattle in 2015, he's never played in the American League. He's also quite a contrast physically.
Generously listed as 5-foot-10, Castillo is at least seven inches shorter than the 6-foot-5 Wieters, and he knows the comparisons won't stop there.
