However, only a handful of them emerged as serious suitors because the Marlins insisted on a package of Talks with the Red Sox never progressed to the point of exchanging individual player names, while the Yankees were uncharacteristically squeamish about forfeiting their top prospects. Timing is a huge factor in determining what becomes part of the baseball zeitgeist, and yet, there’s an ocean of information beneath the surface of any given statistical achievement. He could hit .300 falling asleep, and though he wasnât known for his power, he held his own – in his words – by âturning triples into doublesâ (he also led the nineties in doubles).

Casteallnos has seen his line-drive rate dip by more than seven percent, and his hard-hit rate has fallen off a bit as well.

Austin Romine’s most famous moment at Comerica Park came in 2017, when the catcher and Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera got into a shoving match at … The future Hall of Famer, 36, has trudged through an uncharacteristically difficult season to this point.
