It’s ugly.
The Phillies (finally) released Nick Castellanos on Thursday. After an offseason of rumors, Castellanos’ Phillies tenure has come to an unceremonious end. As you’d expect after last June’s benching, the falling out—between the team, player, manager, coaches and teammates—is now public.
Castellanos put out a hand-written letter.
The Athletic’s Matt Gelb had detailed reporting on what happened in the Miami dugout, and how the relationship fractured over time.
You can take it all in and decide for yourself which side to be on.
But it’s pretty clear to me which individual comes out looking particularly poor in all of this.
