Red Sox notebook: Rusney Castillo shows more signs of being a bust

FORT MYERS — John Henry paid more for Triple-A outfielder Rusney Castillo than he did the Boston Globe.

At least the Globe delivers.

A $72.5 million bust, Castillo couldn’t even run out a ground ball in the very first Red Sox exhibition of the year against a college team, no less.

The Sox beat Northeastern, 9-6, at JetBlue Park despite Castillo’s mistake in the third inning on a one-out grounder to short.

Castillo, who cost $2.5 million more than the purchase price of the Globe, is already off the 40-man roster with a bleak future in Boston.
