A text message regarding the deal sent to Commissioner’s Office at 11:59 convinced Commissioner to approve it.

Castellanos was blocked at third base by Miguel Cabrera and at first base by Prince Fielder. He has been seen as a potential centerpiece for a trade to acquire a marquee talent. However, the Tigers considered Castellanos untouchable in trade negotiations. Castellanos began to take outfield practice in left field during the 2012 season.

After he batted .402 with 32 RBIs in 55 games for Lakeland, the Tigers promoted Castellanos to Erie on June 4. Appearing in the 2012 All-Star Futures Game, Castellanos hit a three-run home run, and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. He batted .264 with Erie that year.

Castellanos was brought up in South Florida by his parents, Michelle & Jorge. His mother is from Michigan. Castellanos was a student at the American Heritage School, Plantation, Florida. He played baseball for the school’s baseball program. American Heritage was awarded the Florida state championship his sophomore year. Castellanos moved to Archbishop McCarthy High School, Fort Lauderdale, Florida before his junior year. After finishing his senior season with a.542 batting average and 34 runs scored, 41 RBIs, 22 stolen bases, Castellanos was named Gatorade State Player of the Year. He led his team to the Class 4A championship. He won Most Valuable Player honours in the Under Armour All-America Baseball Game 2009 at Wrigley Field.
