The day after the Washington Nationals claimed the World Series trophy with a 4-3 series win over the Houston Astros, the Miami Marlins determined one of their key players from this past season with no longer be part of the team.
According to Wells Dusenbury, the Marlins have decided not to pick up the $16 million option of Starlin Castro‘s contract, that’s making him a free agent. Castro, who hit 22 home runs and had 86 RBI this past season, is a free agent and free to sign with any team he chooses.
I did ask Dusenbury on Thursday whether he believed the Marlins will retain their second baseman.
