Castro entered 2019 as a prominent trade candidate for the Marlins, but he struggled offensively throughout the first half of the season and did not attract much interest prior to the July 31 trade deadline.

Castro's performance improved late in the season and he finished with a .270 batting average and set new career highs with 22 home runs and 86 RBI.
