Before Dombrowski it seemed – at least if you listen to the Boston sports media – that is was never clear who drove what roster decision?

Since Castillo has minor-league options, Boston can stash him at Pawtucket, like they did with Allen Craig.

Castillo’s problems are mainly connected to his apparent inability to hit big-league pitching. He can still provide value in the field and on the bases, albeit nothing close to what he’s being paid.

But Sandoval can’t hit, field or run at this point, and he can’t be demoted. He’s literally a dead weight on the Boston roster.

The only thing I’d like to point out is that LAA’ doesn’t have the money either, they have hit the top of their salary range, so the Sox would have to pay most of said players salaries in that trade too.
