He's not going to have much chance to have "a strong showing." How much is Pudge even going to play in the WBC with Geovany Soto and Yadier Molina as teammates?

Hes 37 years old and tanked when he came to NY last year. I'd stay away. I read the biggest reason the Tigers let Pudge go was his defense had slipped considerably.

The only way they are trading Castro is by taking an equal or worse contract back. If Castro were a FA asking half as much as he makes now, he'd still be sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. If they are not satisfied with Castro they need to just cut bait. I get not wanting to go over the luxury tax threshold, but eating $2MM+ on Castro shouldn't really be an issue if its the baseball move they want to make.
