Overview
- Philadelphia signed Adolis García to a one-year, $10 million deal and plans to flank him with Brandon Marsh in the corners and Justin Crawford in center.
- Team insiders report the Phillies have searched for suitors for Nick Castellanos with little interest so far, with clubs pointing to his defense and salary.
- Castellanos is owed roughly $20 million for 2026, a commitment evaluators cite as a key obstacle to any deal.
- Baseball Savant rated Castellanos fifth-worst in fielding run value in 2025 at minus-12, and he hit .250/.294/.400 with 17 home runs and 72 RBIs.
- Coverage notes a trade, if it materializes, may come late in the offseason or require salary retention, while media trade packages naming possible destinations remain speculative.
