Detroit Tigers Rumors: Exploring a Nicholas Castellanos to Houston trade

Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila has a variety of players he could look to deal this offseason. While we profiled three pitchers who are prime trade candidates, the biggest position player who could be dealt is star outfielder Nick Castellanos.

Castellanos is coming off another excellent season, slashing .298/.354/.500 with 23 home runs, 89 RBI, a 130 wRC+ and a 3.0 fWAR. He is one of the premier hitting outfielders in the American League, and his bat will command some attention on the open market.

Unfortunately, there is a lot holding his trade value back, as Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press notes.
