Dbacks have liked Castillo since he was with the Cubs. Have tried to acquire him before.

Trade frees up about 5 million for Arizona.

Trumbo is hitting .259 with nine home runs and 23 RBI this season, and has hit .248 with 118 home runs and 368 RBI in a five-year career.
Nuno has posted a 1.88 ERA with 19 strikeouts this season.
Though Castillo and Leone are currently major leaguers, the prospects Arizona got in the deal offer some intrigue. Both were playing for Double-A Jackson this season.
Reinheimer, a 22-year-old middle infielder, is hitting .277 with home home run, 16 RBI and 12 stolen bases, while Guerrero, 21, was batting .215 with two home runs, 15 RBI and three stolen bases while playing in the outfield.
Prior to this season, Baseball America ranked Guerrerro as the seventh-best prospect in the Mariners organization.
