All-Star outfielder Nick Castellanos has agreed to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported Castellanos will earn $100 million over five years with the Phillies.
Shortly after the Atlanta Braves defeated the Houston Astros in the World Series to bring the 2021 MLB season to an end, Castellanos opted out of his contract with the Cincinnati Reds. In doing so, he left $34 million over two years on the table.
His decision came as little surprise.
Cincinnati appears to be heading toward a continued teardown.
