Major League Baseball's hot stove has been relit since the owner-imposed lockout was lifted last week. On Wednesday alone, we saw Matt Chapman traded and Freddie Freeman, Kyle Schwarber, Kris Bryant and Seiya Suzuki signed. What will Thursday bring?

Castellanos market includes Phillies and Marlins

The biggest bats left on the free agent market now would be the two shortstops (Carlos Correa and Trevor Story) along with outfielder Nick Castellanos. Per Jon Morosi of MLB Network, Castellanos "continues to draw interest" from the Phillies and Marlins. 

Castellanos, 30, hit .309/.362/.576 (136 OPS+) with 38 doubles, 34 homers, 100 RBI, 95 runs and 3.2 WAR for the Reds last season. In some respects, it was a career year and he made his first All-Star team. His poor defense does a number on his WAR and that's where the addition of the full-time DH to the NL helps his market. 

The Phillies signed lefty slugger Kyle Schwarber earlier this week, but thanks to a DH spot, there's still room for Castellanos. If Schwarber is slotted at DH, the Phillies currently have someone from the Adam Haseley, Matt Vierling and Luke Williams group for left field. Adding Castellanos would move Schwarber to left field, and it's always possible Castellanos gets thrown out there, though his time in the outfield has nearly exclusively been in right. 

As for the Marlins, they could certainly use a big bat as their centerpiece in the middle of the order. It currently looks like Avisaíl García and Jesús Aguilar are slotted in the 3-4 holes.
