That's it ... I QUIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hunter McCormick]

I'm not gonna cheer for the Astros.  Nope, not even on Wednesday.  I'll be cheering for my team, the Tigers.

But win, lose or rainout, I'll talk to you all again on Thursday. 

Meanwhile ... Happy Mother's Day to all your moms, especially sempersmom

Don't you wanna tank to get a better draft pick?

[Hunter McCormick]

meh, a better draft pick is a consolation prize for having endured a losing season. I'd still rather see the team playing to win with whatever they have and let the chips fall where they may. I don't begrudge the front office for not going on a buying spree, but the players and manager should be trying to win and develop the younger talent.

If they finish with the worst record in baseball, I won't lose any sleep over it.  But that shouldn't be the goal.

They should trade Nick C. while they can.

Traditionally the trade market near the deadline is strong for pitching, especially late-innings relievers. For position players it sort of depends on injuries. There isn't much available in corner outfielders due for free-agency this winter. But if Nick doesn't get back on track at the plate I don't see him generating much interest. He's batting around league average. That's not a good look on a corner outfielder with below-average defense.

Nick as come out and said
He wants out. He feels he is the scap goat of an awful team. And he understands he is a lame duck in RF. But feels he can DH and play 1B.
He said he embraced the face of the franchise and they gut him like he was trash.

Js value is plummeting

Trade rumors have swirled around Nicholas Castellanos for well over a year, and the outfielder admitted to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News that he has been left feeling “uneasy” from the constant speculation.  The piece provides an interesting look into the mindset of a player who knows he is in something of a limbo state, no longer in the long term plans of the team with whom he has spent his entire pro career.  “You do everything you can to not let it affect you. If I am going to say it doesn’t affect me, I’d be lying,” Castellanos said.  “I’d be giving you a media answer. The only thing I can control is going out and handling my business for me and take each at-bat the best I can for me.  And in doing that, I can help the team win.”  The situation has left Castellanos in something of a limbo state, as he keeps playing out the stretch waiting for the inevitable trade.  Whereas Castellanos embraced a face-of-the-franchise type of responsibility as a public and private team leader last season, McCosky notes that Castellanos has somewhat stepped back from those duties in 2019.  “He’s knows he’s a lame-duck right fielder, and as such no longer HAS the obligation or the right to play that role,” McCosky writes.

Links please!

This winter he did say that IF he was going to be traded, he wanted to be traded before Spring Training so he could be with his new team during that time.

But other than that, it sounds like you're claiming statements were made according to YOUR impression rather than what was actually said by the player.

He feels like he can play 1B? I've never read where HE said that. When questioned about the possibility of Nick playing first base: Al Avila said he wouldn’t rule it out. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to see whether Castellanos could play first base.

To the best of my knowledge Nick has never talked about it.

I challenge you to present any proof of that claim about Nick saying he was the Scapegoat of an awful team.

Yes, there is.

And yet, when Brandon Dixon hit that walk-off home run to beat the Royals last week, look at the video. A jubilant Castellanos was among the first to greet him at the plate.

“I love these guys, no doubt,” he said. “Even more so because I see how they are all still young in their major league journey. It’s hard to explain, but I understand them because I’ve been there. Obviously there’s going to be a lot of emotion for me because I want these guys to do good.”

Castellanos opens up about his lame-duck status with Tigers: 'It's uneasy'

Chris McCosky, The Detroit News Published 1:55 p.m. ET May 11, 2019 | Updated 6:59 p.m. ET May 12, 2019

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. So, what’s his recourse?

He grew up in the Tigers organization and up until last season hoped he would be a Tiger for life, much like one of his mentors, Hall-of-Famer Al Kaline. Now, it’s become brutally obvious the Tigers don’t share that vision.

So, he went out and changed agents, hiring the more aggressive Scott Boras Agency, which all but ended any chance of Castellanos extending his contract with the Tigers.

He’s rather stoically swallowed, at least publicly, how he feels about all this, how it hurt him. He’s always hidden behind a wall of politically correct answers: It is what it is. I can only control what I can control. You don’t always get your Plan A.

But on Saturday, he was asked what all of this has done to his soul, how it’s impacted his love of the game.

“I don’t really know how to answer that,” he said. “But it’s uneasy. You do everything you can to not let it affect you. If I am going to say it doesn’t affect me, I’d be lying. I’d be giving you a media answer. The only thing I can control is going out and handling my business for me and take each at-bat the best I can for me.

“And in doing that, I can help the team win.”

Before last season, Castellanos was all in as one of the leaders in the Tigers clubhouse. He felt he had the experience and the cache to be the hands-on, vocal leader, the guy who stood before the cameras and cellphone recorders and took on the hard, post-game questions, the guy who went locker to locker to check the pulse of his teammates, the guy who spoke for the group — in good times and bad.

These days, he mostly comes in, does his work and leaves. He’s rarely at his locker after games. He’s knows he’s a lame-duck right fielder, and as such no longer HAS the obligation or the right to play that role.

And yet, when Brandon Dixon hit that walk-off home run to beat the Royals last week, look at the video. A jubilant Castellanos was among the first to greet him at the plate.

“I love these guys, no doubt,” he said. “Even more so because I see how they are all still young in their major league journey. It’s hard to explain, but I understand them because I’ve been there. Obviously there’s going to be a lot of emotion for me because I want these guys to do good.”

The business of baseball has embittered Castellanos, hardened him to certain realities. But it has not usurped his love of the game itself.

“As soon as I’m between the lines, I love what I’m doing,” he said. “Now, are there 25 or 30 guys showing up solely for the purpose of pursuing a World Series trophy? We’re going to say yes on the record, that’s the media answer.”

But the true answer is no. That’s a fantasy. Just in this Tigers clubhouse, there are young players more worried about finding their footing, their place, at the big-league level. There are players on one-year deals who are trying to resuscitate their careers with the end-game of being traded to a contending team, flipped for prospects.

The truth is, other than Miguel Cabrera, there are no foundation pieces on this rebuilding roster right now. Even pillars like Matthew Boyd, Shane Greene or Joe Jimenez could be in different uniforms by August.

So, if Castellanos is a mercenary, he’s not alone.

“There are a lot of different personalities and a lot of different motivations for why people are showing up in this clubhouse,” he said.

Castellanos said he holds no grudges. He understands what the Tigers are doing, and why they are doing it. He gets the business of it, he really does. He just doesn’t much like the business of it.

“It’s just unfortunate that a children’s game like baseball, which is supposed to be played out of the love of sport and competition, is entangled with business,” he said. “As soon as you do that, you create a new monster.”

If you want to see the smile back on his face and the sparkle back in his eyes, get him talking about his son Liam.

“I will say this, the most fun baseball games I get to watch are the ones my kid plays,” Castellanos said. “Watching Liam play, watching those kids run around and dive in the dirt. Watching those kids wake up early every weekend and give it everything they have for a piece of plastic, hopefully, at the end of it — it’s freakin’ awesome.”

Castellanos understands how this might sound to some fans, but he’s not trying to curry sympathy. He doesn’t take what baseball has given him and his family for granted. He’s not at all ungrateful. He’s just dealing with his first real taste of disillusionment.

Who can’t relate to that, regardless of comparative income levels?

“This is the world we live in, and I am blessed to be doing this,” he said. “I’m not (griping) about it. I’m not blind to the fact that I’m 27 years old and I get to play baseball for a living and I make a large amount of money that everyone knows about.”

Still, his dream has been deferred. He viewed himself as a foundation piece in the Tigers’ rebuild and now he’s been thrown into limbo, put in a position to play the game for himself, to improve as a player, improve his chances of being traded, hopefully to a contending team.

Not how he pictured it going.

“Like I said in that TigerFest interview before the 2018 season, in life you don’t always get Plan A,” he said. “But I will be able to sleep great at night because I worked my ass off for Plan A. The rest of it is out of my control.

“One way or another, it will work out. Whatever happens will happen, and I will be happy doing it.”

There you have it folks.  Not a single word supporting the claims VooDoo made about what Nick said.

I agree that we need a catcher for the future. The only problem is that every single team in baseball is doing the same thing. I know you may be new to bazeball but catching is not something every team has running out their butt. 

[nathangarza29]

I get that. But im not sure of this but isnt Chirinos 35yrs old?

If so do we really wanna trust Stassi and Stubbs not saying stubbs is bad but js do we?

Interesting question would be would you make a move for a Catcher thats in the early 20s to mid 20s maybe a guy like Jorge Alfaro. I even said a name like Joey Bart of the San Francisco Giants minor leagues. My only draw back on him is dudes really tall.

I like Alfaro, I think he hasnt even begun to tap in to his potential.
I dont understand why the Phillies where eager to trade him.
But who knows


How about that Aaron Sanchez??

I too am skeptical Bumgarner is still the postseason juggernaut he was 5 years ago

[Saint]

I wanted us (and still want us) to pull the trigger on Greinke. He is looking excellent again this year. But now it looks like AZ has a chance at the postseason so I doubt he'll be available unless they go in the tank.

edit: And speaking of AZ, it looks like they got Greg Holland back on his game for a steal.
