Nick Castellanos doesn’t want no stinking advice from anyone who hasn’t made it to the big leagues. The ex-Phillies outfielder expressed outward “disdain” for Phillies manager Rob Thomson and hitting coach Kevin Long and told teammates he did not trust the pair of ex-Yankees staffers since they never played in the majors, according to The Athletic. Philadelphia released Castellanos on Thursday with one year and $20 million left on his contract, which was initially for five years and $100 million.
