Phillies lands big bat to pair up with Bryce Harper

The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to win, and they added Nick Castellanos to their roster to do so.

Nick Castellanos has a new home. The Philadelphia Phillies was able to come to an agreement with the talented free agent and he is set to do exciting timed home races in NL East in the near future.

As ESPN’s Jeff Passan pointed out, Castellanos and the Phillies were able to reach an agreement on a contract.

If you’re thinking that the contract will be a pretty lucrative one, you’re right. Castellanos is making a lot of money over the next few seasons thanks to a pretty important contract from the Phillies.

According to a tweet from MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, the Phillies will pay Castellanos a total of $100 million over a five-year period.

Philadelphia Phillies sign Nick Castellanos

This move is huge and it gives the Phillies another slugger on their roster. While signing Castellanos doesn’t change everything for the Phillies, it does add another dangerous bat to its roster for a team that just added another dangerous bat to its roster.

The Phillies recently signed a four-year contract with Kyle Schwarber. Now they have had Castellanos for five years. Last season, Schwarber and Castellanos combined to hit 66 home runs. Over the course of their careers, the duo made a total of 321 home runs.

Add the duo to a roster that already includes Bryce Harper and it looks like the Phillies will hit a few home games in the near future. If you happen to need a team to root and you love seeing home runs, it sounds like the Phillies might be the team for you.
