Nick Castellanos, Cincinnati Reds agree to deal

MLB Rumors: Nick Castellanos and the Cincinnati Reds have agreed to a deal, per Jon Heyman on Twitter. No word yet on the terms, though Jeff Passan says it is a multi-year deal.

This is disappointing news for Texas Rangers fans, and a big blow to the Rangers’ efforts to land the final piece or two necessary to solidify the team’s lineup for 2020. Castellanos is the last impact free agent standing who would be a fit for the Rangers, and with Texas needing a righthanded middle of the order bat who can play first base, Castellanos, who was willing to move to first base, per reports, having played third base and the outfield previously, seemed like an ideal fit, particularly with no other obvious fits for Castellanos being out there.
