Perhaps the most pressing Phillies question of the off-season has been answered in an emphatically positive way.
Nick Castellanos is back.
You know, the good Nick Castellanos. The Nick Castellanos who signed a big free agent deal with the Phillies a few weeks before the start of the regular season. The Nick Castellanos who slugged 34 homers, had 100 RBIs and posted a .939 OPS in 2021 for the Cincinnati Reds. The Nick Castellanos we all thought would be a dynamic, right-handed hitting power bat in the middle of the lineup.
Yep, that dude is here now.
