2025 Topps #315
Nick Castellanos is under contract for the 2026 season, but I'd be shocked if he heads to Clearwater with the club in February.  The streaky right fielder seems to have worn out his welcome with the Phillies, especially after a benching in mid-June following inappropriate comments directed towards manager Rob Thomson after Castellanos was removed late in a game for a defensive replacement.  In 147 games, Castellanos batted .250 with 27 doubles, 17 home runs and 72 RBIs.  If this truly is the end of the road for him in red pinstripes, we'll have some exciting postseason highlights to remember him by, as well as his solid first half of the the 2023 season, leading to an All-Star Game appearance.
