Nick Castellanos
LF,RF - CIN
2020 Outlook
Ownership
Eligibility
Free-agent outfielder Nicholas Castellanos has agreed to a deal with the Cincinnati Reds, according to a report from MLB insider Jon Heyman. It is expected to be a multi-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Castellanos batted .289 with 27 home runs, 100 runs scored, 73 RBI, and two stolen bases with the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs last season, but he was particularly good for the Cubs after they acquired him via trade. His market moved slowly this offseason, but he now joins a Reds squad that has made a number of moves in hopes of competing in 2020.
The Rangers remain 'active' in pursuit of free agent Nicholas Castellanos.
Fantasy Impact
Texas is among the favorites to land Castellanos, who has also been tied to the White Sox, Cubs, Giants, Diamondbacks, and Marlins. Castellanos would likely move to first base if he signs with Texas given their current roster situation. Castellanos continued his mediocre production with the Tigers in 2019 before lighting it up following a trade to the Cubs. He'll be an interesting name in fantasy drafts this year depending on where he ultimately lands. Texas would be a great offensive environment.
Jon Morosi of MLB.com writes the Rangers are seen as a finalist to sign free-agent outfielder Nicholas Castellanos.
Fantasy Impact
Castellanos has been linked to a variety of teams this off-season, including the Reds, Cubs, and Giants as well. The outfielder flourished following a mid-season trade to the Cubs in 2019, batting .321 with 16 homers in 51 games with the north siders.
Nicholas Castellanos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Castellanos now has 16 homers in a Cubs' uniform, and 27 on the season. He's batting a robust .310 in September, and has been a completely different player since changing teams.
Nicholas Castellanos went 2-for-3 with two doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored Saturday against the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
It sounds like a broken record, but Castellanos continues to perform in a Cubs' uniform. On the season, he is batting .291 with 26 home runs, 70 RBI, and 90 runs scored.
