The Yankees explored a trade for Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos this offseason but halted their pursuit after receiving mixed feedback on his performance. Instead, they re-signed Paul Goldschmidt for right-handed bench depth while considering other options like Ty France and Randal Grichuk. Castellanos, released by the Phillies after a disappointing 2025 season and issues with team conduct, is owed $20 million for 2025 and will seek a new opportunity as he turns 34 in March. Over 13 seasons, he made two All-Star teams and won a Silver Slugger award.
