That's Chris Carter getting non-tendered ... following a 41-homerun season.

Wellington Castillo's not worth a tender offer? Hell, decent defense and more-than-decent pop? He's a little more than a little like our erstwhile Throbbin' Rod Barajas, no?

Yeah, I think Sandy might look into buying his kids some new Welingtons this Christmas

Vance Worley could be an option for the Mets, no?

Deep, 15-second Google research tells me that Beef's defense is, to quote the internet, "weak".

Well, they'd be limited to more or less one of them playing at a time, but sure, why not.

I'm exaggerating, of course. 75 at most.

But maybe getting better? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/08/d ... nsion.html Notably, Castillo has made strides with his defensive work this year, according to Baseball Prospectus’s catcher ratings (subscription required and recommended). He has typically graded as a solid blocker while registering good marks with his arm. And Castillo has also improved greatly as a pitch framer; once one of the game’s least-regarded framers, he now registers as average to slightly below-average (with StatCorner valuing him higher than does BP) at winning strikes for his pitchers.

I can't take a guy named Wellington seriously. He's probably Wellington Ramsey Castillo IV.
