The Mets are likely to take a huge financial hit this winter if they are able to trade Luis Castillo and his $25-million contract. But it's becoming more apparent that these two sides are heading for a divorce when this season is over, and the latest example came Tuesday when manager Jerry Manuel opted to start rookie Argenis Reyes over the three-time All-Star.
Castillo was disappointed, to put it mildly.
Castillo had been a good soldier in accepting a platoon with veteran Damion Easley, who was hitting .290 against lefthanders. But getting benched in favor of Reyes seemed to sting a little bit more.
"There's nothing to say," Castillo said. "I'm here to help the team, but this is the first time in my life it's been like that."
