The Philadelphia Phillies needed to deal with whether or not to launch or commerce outfielder Nick Castellanos.
That query has lastly been answered, with the Phillies deciding to launch the two-time All-Star on Thursday afternoon, per a team announcement. In wake of the transfer, Castellanos launched just a few letters — one to the Philadelphia followers, and one other that detailed the “Miami incident,” wherein he introduced a beer into the dugout.
Castellanos was on the commerce block all offseason, and the Phillies had been by no means capable of finding a commerce associate due to his excessive wage ($20 million) and disappointing play. In 4 seasons in Philadelphia, Castellanos batted .260 with an OPS of .732 with 82 dwelling runs in 602 video games.
Castellanos additionally underperformed as an outfielder, posting a -9 defensive runs saved. The Phillies can be on the hook to pay Castellanos all $20 million of his wage for this season.
