There’s been a little to-do between the Detroit Tigers and their best non-Miguel Cabrera player, Nicholas Castellanos. The 26-year old outfielder (in name only — an OFINO, as nobody calls it) who has posted an .831 OPS over the past three seasons clearly wants out of go-nowhere Detroit for a chance to compete. Thing is, the asking price has been outrageous. Per SBN’s Bless You Boys:
The word around the campfire is that the asking price for the man who knows not what quality defense is was pretty high. That word was confirmed more recently when it was reported that general manager Al Avila told the Dodgers that they would need to give up outfielder Alex Verdugo or catching prospect Keibert Ruiz.
