The NL East arms race continues to warmth up this offseason.
Nick Castellanos is headed to the Philadelphia Phillies, in keeping with a number of experiences. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was first on the information, and MLB Community’s Jon Heyman added that the deal was value $100 million over 5 years. This comes on the heels of the Phillies signing Kyle Schwarber to a four-year deal with a median of just below $20 million a season.
Castellanos, 30, hit .309 with 34 house runs and a .939 OPS with the Reds final season, made the All-Star crew and completed twelfth within the NL MVP voting.
Final week, former Yankee CC Sabathia cited a scarcity of willingness of Marlins possession to pay up for Castellanos as a serious purpose why Derek Jeter abruptly resigned as CEO of the franchise.
In 2020, Castellanos went viral as he hit a house run in the midst of former Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman’s farewell apology to viewers after he had been caught by a sizzling mic on-air saying a homosexual slur.
The NL East has had a really lively sizzling range. The Mets signed Max Scherzer, Starling Marte and Eduardo Escobar. The Braves, who're the defending World Sequence champion, traded with the A’s for star first baseman Matt Olson.
