Rumors: Texas Rangers remain favorite for free agent Nick Castellanos

One of the Texas Rangers top remaining free agent targets is off the board after agreeing to a one-year, $18 million deal with the Atlanta Braves reported Tuesday night. With Ozuna gone, all eyes in free agency will turn to Nick Castellanos, the top player still remaining. Castellanos has long been linked with the Rangers and indications this offseason have been that they maintain more interest in him than the aforementioned Ozuna. That interest is reportedly mutual with MLB.com noting that Texas “are perhaps the frontrunner to sign the slugger at this point…” Castellanos fits the bill of the Rangers needs as a consistent, strong right-handed hitter.
