Report: Phillies Sign Outfielder Nick Castellanos to Five-Year Deal

The Phillies continue to add to their offense.

Philadelphia is signing outfielder Nick Castellanos to a five-year, $100 million contract, according to multiple reports.

MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported that outfielder Bryce Harper played a big role in recruiting Castellanos to Philadelphia.

Castellanos seemed to announce this deal himself, posting a picture from Philadelphia on Instagram.

The Phillies have now added two outfielders in three days, having already signed Kyle Schwarber earlier this week. These two will join a lineup that lost outfielder Andrew McCutchen and adds a spot with the designated hitter.
