Minneapolis – Nick Castellanos, mercenary?
That’s not the term he uses. He says he’s in limbo.
“What am I going to do but go play baseball and try to help my teammates?” he said in the quiet of the Tigers clubhouse, hours before the double-header against the Twins.
The raw truth of the situation is that Castellanos is a bat for hire. The Tigers have made it clear he is not part of their future and have been actively trying to trade him since the end of last season.
