Coste out

Brian McTaggart is reporting that, in the hoopla surrounding Mills' hiring, Chris Coste was outrighted to Round Rock, whereas he refused the assignment and has become a free agent.

Unless Mike LaValliere says he's available in the offseason for cheap, look for Towles and Quintero to open the season C1 and C1a, and for a candle to be lit for Jason Castro for every day he's in Round Rock.
