"A player who has been let go or dismissed by a team. Occasionally, a castoff from one team goes on to become successful with another. Syn. discard. 1ST USE. 1897. 'None of the twirling cast-offs of the Orioles have cleaved a large field of congealed aqua, as the erudite savant, Dod Clarke, would it' (The Washington Post, June 14)."
