Justin Crawford Making an Immediate Impact
Justin Crawford is making an immediate impact in his ticking days as a Philadelphia Phillie. He has so far doubled and made spectacular plays out in center field. He is screaming aloud potential.
And the Philadelphia fans are going to love it. Son of former MLB player Carl Crawford, Justin is performing in the manner fans had hoped.
Last season in AAA, he batted .334 with 7 HR and 47 RBI. Not to say, he is a fast, quick twitched runner. Crawford is the player the Phils need.
However, the Phils are sometimes hesitant to promote any prospect. They value the prospect as much as hesitating.
It is not too long to decide whether Crawford will play in the big leagues. My prediction is he will start in May and climb his way up the ladder. Crawford is too good to resist and it begins very soon.

San Diego Padres Sign Nick Castellanos
Nick Castellanos used to be a third baseman for the Cincinnati Reds and now he is taking his first base talent to San Diego. As reported yesterday, Castellanos and the Phillies parted ways after four heart wrenching seasons that ended with a beer in the Philadelphia dugout during June of last year.

Nick Castellanos Released by Phillies
Nick Castellanos was released by the Philadelphia Phillies. Some rumors leaked that Castellanos carried an alcoholic beverage throughout the dugout and argued with Phillies manager, Rob Thomson.
All of it is believable after the Phillies tried trading Castellanos for three straight seasons. This could however backfire as the Phillies do not have too many great right handed bats.
Just like Rhys Hoskins and Jean Segura, Castellanos was instrumental in leading the Phils to the 2022 MLB World Series. The trio combined for .540 OPS compared in the career postseason to Castellanos .660 OPS.
The Phil’s are unsure what they will get back in return for Aidan Miller, Alec Bohm, or Adolis Garcia but declining defense can be a great reason for the departure of Castellanos, and now Liam.

A’s on Track for a Smooth Sailing Transition
Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker, and now Jacob Wilson have all signed extensions as the A’s near a smooth sailing transition to Las Vegas. The A’s currently play in West Sacramento but it does not excuse their future elsewhere.
The cards are stacked for a team that has not been willing to spend before. Nick Kurtz came off a AL Rookie of the Year campaign while Wilson finished second in that respective race.
Wilson is owed $70 million through 7 years and a club option. His numbers were showy as he slashed .311/.355/.444. He reached the MLB All-Star game and deservedly so.
The future is heavily bright for the A’s. They, at least, made a slight improvement by finishing better in the AL standings (76-86).
2026 should be a better year as all the stars start to align in Sacramento and make its 2028 debut in Las Vegas.

Breaking: Mets Sign Bo Bichette
The New York Mets sign Bo Bichette in yet another shocking move.
The Philadelphia Phillies reportedly netted interest until this was made announced. It was said Bichette started texting with the Phillies players before the Mets finalized the deal.
Bichette will move to third base while Brett Baty plays left field. Bichette rebounded from a dismal 2024 season and contributed significantly to the Toronto Blue Jays 2025 World Series run.
