    Matt Gelb Detailed His Article About Nick Castellanos (Hour 1)

    (0:00 - 18:26) Yesterday afternoon, Nick Castellanos was released by the Phillies, meaning the team will eat the final year and $20M that were remaining on his contract.

Hear audio from Gelb describing the toxic relationship between Castellanos and the Phillies. Kyle Schwarber was asked about Castellanos' release and handwritten farewell letter, and it seemed like Schwarber was walking a tightrope. Then, Patricia introduces today's Twitter poll, which asks, "Who do you blame most for the Nick Castellanos situation? The Phillies, Nick Castellanos, or the media?" (32:25 - 44:30) Could the Phillies have gotten something if they traded Nick Castellanos? Matt Gelb said that teams had some interest in trading for the two-time all-star this offseason, but front offices were contacting Gelb asking if the Miami incident really happened the way they heard it happened. That incident hindered teams' thoughts on trading for Castellanos.
