After months of consternation about what the Philadelphia Phillies would finally do with right fielder Nick Castellanos this offseason, there may finally be some closure. Instead of going the trade route to find a new right fielder, they signed free agent Adolis García to a one-year, $10 million contract on Monday.
Value-wise, the deal is the same as the Max Kepler signing from last offseason, but García coming to Philadelphia means Castellanos should have his bags packed and ready. It's been known for a while that the Phillies have been actively trying to shop him and this signing is the final nail in the coffin.
