Reds Make Nick Castellanos A Qualifying Offer
The Cincinnati Reds have extended outfielder Nick Castellanos a qualifying offer, as expected. Castellanos is all but certain to reject the one-year, $18.4 million dollar contract so he can test the free agent market.

Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver DeSean Jackson cleared waivers on Thursday.
