The Philadelphia Phillies & Nick Castellanos breakup is official: with Dave Dombrowski and the Phils eating $20 million worth, & Castellanos playing on a league minimum contract for the San Diego Padres. 

Sometimes big free-agent swings work: like Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. Yet a lot of the times, they don’t connect — and this one might have cost Philly more than just money. 

In this video, Bill Matz breaks down how the Phillies’ massive contract turned into a costly mistake — from declining production and defensive struggles to clubhouse tension and the team ultimately paying him to play elsewhere.

Was this just bad luck? Poor roster construction? Or a front-office miscalculation by Dave Dombrowski?
