Outfielder Nick Castellanos has agreed to a one-year contract with the San Diego Padres, multiple media outlets reported Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The New York Post initially reported the news, which comes two days after Castellanos was released by the Philadelphia Phillies. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Castellanos, who turns 34 on March 4, was cut by Philadelphia this week with one season remaining on his five-year, $100 million contract. Per MLB.com, the Padres will pay Castellanos the MLB minimum of $780,000 with the Phillies being on the hook for the balance of his salary for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Castellanos fell out of favor in Philadelphia last season, and he found himself in a platoon role after being admonished for insubordination in June.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Castellanos was benched on June 17, one day after reportedly making an “inappropriate” comment to manager Rob Thomson.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Thomson removed Castellanos from the outfield in favor of Johan Rojas as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning of a 5-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. That’s what prompted Castellanos to say something to Thomson that the manager deemed out of order.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Castellanos, however, noted during an Instagram post on Thursday that he was benched for the following game after bringing a beer into the dugout after his removal from the game for defensive purposes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Castellanos batted .250 with 17 home runs and 72 RBIs in 147 games last season, his fourth with Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

A two-time All-Star, Castellanos is a career .272 hitter with 250 homers and 920 RBIs in 1,688 games with the Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds and Phillies.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
