Is Nick Castellanos about to become a trade piece? The Phillies outfielder was switched out late for defense in Monday's 5-2 win over the Marlins, then was benched ahead of Tuesday's game for apparently saying something inappropriate to manager Rob Thomson when he was taken out of the game.
Castellanos said, “It’s his decision. He’s the manager."
Yikes. Castellanos is known for his fiery personality. We'll see if it ends here or bleeds into the locker room. He's a nice complementary piece for a winning club needing lineup depth, so he cold yield a nice return if the situation becomes untenable.
