Nick Castellanos recently hit his 250th career home run, an accomplishment that is highly appreciated within the Philadelphia Phillies organization. But during an interview about the milestone, he revealed that his communication with manager Rob Thomson in recent years has not been the best.
āI donāt really talk to Rob all that often. So thatās just, I play whenever he tells me to play and then I sit whenever he tells me to sit. ā¦ Communication over the years has been questionable, at least in my experience. But also I grew up communicating with somebody like my father, which is very blunt, direct and consistent,ā Castellanos told Todd Zolecki.
This type of statement could be a warning for Phillies fans, who might suspect that Castellanos is closer to leaving than staying with the team. At least he clarified that he gets along well with his teammates, saying, āIām here. We won a baseball game. You know, I hit my 250th. I have a good relationship with the guys in this clubhouse.ā
Castellanosās Wife Didnāt Like the Questions
Among the reactions to a series of questions that were being asked of Nick Castellanos in the locker roomāquestions that were considered ārepetitiveā and annoying by some Phillies fans on X and other platformsāhis wife, Jess Castellanos, wrote a strong message on X about it.
āWhat in the actual sā was that interview?? Whoever was asking those questions literally was looking for such a problem and wouldnāt drop it? Why are they doing this during a WS run?????ā she wrote.
She followed up with a second post, stating, āI know everyone wants to find a problem with Nick or bate him into a problem but itās time to get over it. Focus on the post season and winning baseball games and stop crying about the pieces you have to get the job done and root for them to do well instead.ā
