Oh Jon Heyman, how you titillate us. Heyman tweeted:
Heard houston might not keep quintero. #pudge a possibility.
Well, wouldn't that be interesting, and I have no idea what to make of this. We're talking about backup catchers here, right? Because at some point Castro will be healthy (ideally). But Quintero and the Astros avoided arbitration with a $1m+ deal, which isn't necessarily guaranteed. Will Pudge sign for that amount? Will he be better at nurturing young Jason Castro? Does it even matter, at all?
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
