Well that answers the question as to if the Sox are going to move Castillo this winter.  Very surprised by this to be honest, but at the same time, they must think that Seby is ready enough if a 3rd catcher is needed.

Smith never had a future anyway with the Sox. Light hitting catcher who was ok defensively.  No big loss, do wish him the best of luck though.

Not the most likely of scenarios, but there was discussion that Castillo is one of Machado's best friends, and could potentially help with recruitment of Manny. Maybe they will keep him around for this purpose. 

Hopefully he is better at recruiting than he is at drug testing.

Smith was a good soldier. He did his job when called upon and did it well. I wish him the best. Will always remember the HR he hit wearing the special jersey's with Daniel Webbs name on it. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/kevan-smith-honors-daniel-webb-style-players-weekend-home-run

He had the highest batting average on the team, for those with 100AB or more. 

He has no power though and he's already like 30 years old. I don't know why people (especially on Twitter) are making such a huge deal out of this. He isn't that good and wasn't the future at the catching position anyway. Who cares.

He's easy to root for and produced at the plate (despite lack of power)? And he was probably our better defender and framer of the group so that matters for the pitchers, even if he was unlikely to be on the team after next year.
