Friday BP: Free agent rumors to get your weekend started
Good morning, baseball fans!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas (though that depends on your perspective I guess). It’s time for the hills to come alive with the sound of free agent rumors!
The San Francisco Giants have been rumored to be in the mix on three higher profile free agents this week.
First, there’s Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos, who put up a 3.2 bWAR season in 2021, with 34 home runs, a .309 AVG and a .939 OPS, leading him to an All Star appearance and a Silver Slugger. Castellanos would be a great fit for baseball reasons, but also for entertainment reasons. As he has a tendency to hit home runs at the worst possible times in a broadcast.
