What goes into the Cubs' decision on Nicholas Castellanos' future

It did not take long for Nicholas Castellanos to endear himself to Cubs fans.

In fact, you might say it happened immediately, on Opening Day...

The marriage between the Cubs and Castellanos could not have gone any better. Neither side could dream up a more perfect pairing over the final two months of this 2019 season.

Castellanos instantly became a huge part of the Cubs offense and his passion and energy was palpable. He said he was stoked to be in the MLB playoff race for the first time since 2014 (his rookie season) and his actions spoke even louder than his words.
