Atlanta Braves Mock Trade for Outfielder Nick Castellanos

We didn’t learn much from the Winter Meetings, but the one name that caught my attention for the Atlanta Braves was Nick Castellanos.

He was not really a name I heard much about before the winter meetings, and indications are that the Braves are highly interested.

Sources: #Tigers OF Nick Castellanos is drawing trade interest. #Braves are among the teams that have checked in. Castellanos, 26, is coming off a career offensive year and is an alternative to Brantley and Pollock via free agency. @MLBNetwork @MLB

The 26-year-old is projected to make a little over $11 million in his last year of arbitration, and he will be a free agent after the 2019 season.
