The NL East-leading Mets neatly filled a big hole at second base, acquiring three-time All-Star Luis Castillo from the Twins for a pair of prospects Monday.
The 31-year-old Castillo will give the Mets three switch-hitters at the top of their lineup when injured Carlos Beltran returns and brings speed and a .304 average to a batting order already topped by major league stolen base leader Jose Reyes. Castillo twice was the NL steals leader, though bad knees have limited his running in recent seasons.

The Mets are close to acquiring second baseman Luis Castillo from the Twins for two minor leaguers, according to major-league sources.
Mets Class AA catcher Drew Butera and Class A outfielder Dustin Martin are among the players the Twins are considering.
The deal is expected to be finalized after a review of the medical records of the players involved.
Castillo would replace Jose Valentin, who recently suffered a season-ending broken shin when he fouled a pitch off his leg.
