Padres land Castellanos after Phillies split, adding versatile veteran to lineup

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.

"Milwaukee Brewers Make Surprising Move with Rhys Hoskins Signing"

The Milwaukee Brewers have made an unusual move in the free-agent market by signing first baseman Rhys Hoskins to a two-year, $34 million deal, deviating from their usual approach of targeting multi-tooled players. Hoskins, known for his offensive prowess, will be tasked with boosting the team's home run production, addressing a key need for the Brewers. However, the signing comes with risks, as Hoskins is coming off ACL surgery and is considered a one-tool player, which is a departure from the Brewers' typical signings. Nonetheless, the front office sees this as an opportunistic move to address a specific need and demonstrate their commitment to competing in the upcoming season.
