The Detroit Tigers sign Kory Casto
The Tigers have signed 28-year old lefty swinging 1B/3B/OF Kory Casto to a minor league deal. He played in 126 games in AAA-ball last season and he was 121 for 447 (.271 avg, .712 OPS) with 57 runs scored, 8 homers, 58 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. He has also played in 82 games in his major league career and he is 42 for 217 (.194 avg, .540 OPS) with 16 runs scored, 2 homers and 19 RBIs. Casto was once one of the Nationals’ better prospects so it doesn’t hurt to give him a chance to earn a job in spring training.
