PHILADELPHIA — October 29, 2025

Amid growing speculation about potential roster moves this offseason, Castellanos expressed his deep connection to the city, the team, and the fanbase, saying he feels “at home” in a Phillies uniform.
“I love playing here,” Castellanos said in a recent interview. “The fans, the energy, the clubhouse — it all feels right. Philadelphia has become home for me and my family, and I’d love to keep it that way.”
Castellanos, who joined the Phillies in 2022 and has since become a key part of their lineup and clubhouse culture, hinted that he would welcome discussions about a contract extension should Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski and the front office decide to pursue one.
“If Dave and the organization want me here long-term, I’m all in,” Castellanos added. “This is where I want to be. I believe in what we’re building.”
The 33-year-old outfielder has been known for his fiery competitiveness and clutch performances in big moments — qualities that have endeared him to the Philadelphia faithful. His commitment to staying reflects both his personal satisfaction and his confidence in the team’s direction after another strong postseason push.
As the Phillies prepare for what could be a pivotal offseason, Castellanos’ stance offers stability and optimism. While contract details remain uncertain, one thing is clear: Nick Castellanos sees his future in red and white — right here in Philadelphia.
