Castellanos was released yesterday and can sign with any team.  The Phillies have to eat his entire $20 million salary for 2026.

Completely with hindsight and if you knew the moves that were going to happen, would you rather have:

Hays ($6 million)

Fedde ($1.5 million)

OR

Quintana ($6 million)

Castellanos (???  Assuming around Fedde money)

I'd take Hays and Fedde. I believe Fedde has a higher ceiling than Quintana if you take 2024 into consideration. And even though Hays elicits an eyeroll over his "Jesus protect me from sin" stuff over LBGTQ day, Castellanos seems like a real clubhouse cancer.

Fair.  The Q and Castellanos pair would definitely be nice if Boras threw in a Time Machine with Castellanos.

Pretty strange signing. 27 yrs old .Big OFer 6'5" 215. Looks like he played 5 years in multiple colleges . Didnt play in 2023 .Then for 2 seasons in the Pioneer League absolutely destroyed that pitching with high .700's SLG and mid .400's OBP.

Wonder if its just they saw some analytics that looked good and they just put him in AA or AAA to see what happens.

I’m going to predict 78 wins while I have a few beers in me. Why not. Done being down on team. Everyone is having a career year like the Mercedes era, but Tony’s not around to traumatize anyone 

I’m joining you.  I will await your 80+ win prediction later tonight…

 100 more runs, 25 more homeruns, 20 more saves, starting pitching about the same as last year would probably get the Sox to 78 wins .

Can't have a bunch of career years. Need to save some for Schultz, Hagen Smith, Braden Montgomery, Bonemer, Antonacci, McDougal, Oppor, Billy Carlson and 1:1 pick years and any others who pop up. 

The only one I really hope does great is Murakami since I doubt Ishbia wont arrive in time to white knight him an extension. Might get 2M attendence and more sponsors for CHSN. That might be the only way JR opens the wallet a bit and even then I have no idea how much because of the looming labor snafu. You can't really talk much about the future with a 90 year old. 

If Pope Power works no telling what Jerry's kids do. No matter what, they need to sell to Ishbia. 

Edit: Meant to quote @Chick Mercedes re:the everyone having career years .
