Nick Castellanos is a great offensive player, but Dave Dombrowski and Scott Boras think he’ll provide the Phillies more than just his bat. JSalisburyNBCS of NBCSPhilly explains:
"I've played over 1,000 big league games and I have zero playoff wins. I've made money and I've hit homers. I've played on TV. But I haven't won no games that matter.""He's really built for an audience like this," Boras said."I think what everybody in Philadelphia will come to understand is there's no nonsense with Nick. It's, 'I've got to win, I want to win, I've never won, I'm going to win.
Once the Phillies landed Schwarber, Boras believed the Phillies would take the next step and go for Castellanos. That belief was rooted in the conversations he and Harper had with owner John Middleton three years earlier. Once Castellanos was solidified as a target, Dombrowski went to ownership and got the approval to take the payroll where it has never gone before -- to $240 million, $10 million over the luxury tax threshold.
