Padres land Castellanos after Phillies split, adding versatile veteran to lineup
TL;DR Summary
Nick Castellanos signed with the San Diego Padres after being released by the Philadelphia Phillies, with the Padres planning to deploy him at first base, in the outfield, and as a designated hitter. He trained at first base this offseason; San Diego will owe him the $780,000 major-league minimum while Philadelphia covers the rest of his $20 million contract. The move aims to boost offense and add veteran speed in a contract year, though Castellanos’ fit in a new clubhouse remains to be seen.
