The Detroit News is reporting that the Tigers are in hot pursuit of 27 year old Rusney Castillo. Castillo defected from Cuba last December. Rusney can play center field. The article says competition for Rusney's services will be steep with the Cubs, Mariners, Dodgers, Red Sox and Yankees all in the mix. Castillo will probably get a long term deal in the range of 50 million dollars. The article goes on to say the Tigers are front runners due to the fact that their GM makes getting his name in the headlines his top priority. The article quotes one unidentified source as saying Dombrowski told him he would even consider trading Nick Castellanos and Robbie Ray to Cuba if that's what it takes to land Rusney. Now that he knows Buck Farmer is a can't miss prospect, Ray is expendable.
