Confirmed: Phillies Makes Another Dream Come True, Reunite With Formal Weapon In A Blockbuster Move
Philadelphia Phillies
A roster shakeup has been long overdue for the Philadelphia Phillies. The club’s current right fielder Nick Castellanos has been the sacrificial lamb when it comes to trade rumors as of late, but there’s credence to that line of thinking. It’s reasonable to believe that Castellanos will find a new home before the start of the 2026 season.
Although on an expiring deal, Castellanos brings enough value for an MLB club to at least take a chance on him. The rumor mill has been turning for Castellanos, and the interest could absolutely grow this offseason after a recent revelation he made.
During an interview with MLB Network, Castellanos got to talking about his offseason and preparing himself for the upcoming 162-game season in 2026. He’s also fully aware of what the media has brought up about his current relationship with the Phillies.

Castellanos understands what’s being said about around him, but also knows that it’s out of his control. According to MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki, even the future outlook is an unknown for him right now.
“It [playing first base] was brought up to me, and honestly it’s something that I really welcome,” Castellanos said. “[In] amateur I was a shortstop, I got drafted at third base, I played by first 500 games over there… I think that going to first base is something that I can do, and I would enjoy, if a team or somebody needs me to do that…”
