CINCINNATI — Former All-Star Nick Castellanos was released by the Phillies on Thursday. This was after Philadelphia told him not to report to Phillies Spring Training in Clearwater, Florida.

Castellanos spent two seasons with the Reds, including the 2021 campaign where he made the All-Star team.

Is a return likely?

It doesn't sound like it according to Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall.

“I haven’t met with our guys,” Krall told the Cincinnati Enquirer. “I don’t know if we have a great fit for him with the guys that we have.”

Castellanos will be 34 this March. His numbers dipped in 2025. It would be nice to have him on the roster as a depth piece, but he may be looking for a bigger role. In addition, Castellanos would bring a leadership and attitude that could be invaluable for this ball club.

Despite that possibility, a reunion seems unlikely, especially after they added Eugenio Suarez last month.
