You may have seen that MLBTradeRumors article today has been about the Tigers reportedly looking to trade Nick Castellanos. This isn’t breaking news, though there were a few things that made me think it was worth us exploring.
One team who could be a fit for Castellanos: The Astros, who made an offer for him before the July 31 trade deadline last year.

Personally, I see diminishing returns with a focus on additional offense for this team, but with Luhnow’s comments of the Astros still looking for both a bat and a SP, I figured it’s worth delving into the details a bit to see if there is a potential fit.
