New York Mets’ second baseman Luis Castillo is frustrated with his lack of playing time. So much so that he wasn’t afraid to publicly express his future plans.

“I can’t be here anymore,” the second baseman told The New York Post, as reported by Dan Martin. “I know I’m not going to be here next year.”

Castillo has one year left on his four-year, $25 million contract. He has not requested a trade, but the team is aware of his desire to play everyday. He likely would not have too many teams interested because of his diminished skills, according to Martin.

“I know I can play every day,” said Castillo, who was benched in favor of rookie Ruben Tejada. “I’m not a bench player. I can still play.”

Just before the July 31st trade deadline, the Mets offered Castillo and pitcher Oliver Perez to the Chicago Cubs for Carlos Zambrano. The Cubs declined the offer.

Castillo, 34, is hitting .241/.335/.286 in 62 games for the Mets this season.
