Far be it from me to give financial advice to a major league player, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Nick Castellanos should stick it out with the Cincinnati Reds beyond just the 2020 season, whenever that may start. Castellanos has the ability to opt out of his contract before next winter, but he should stay put through at least 2021.
Castellanos signed a four-year/$64M contract with the Reds this past winter. However, along with massive amount of money guaranteed to Castellanos, he also has two opt-out opportunities. Castellanos can opt out of his current contract after both the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
