Nick Castellanos Finds Hilarious Way to Insult Rob Manfred

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos isn't the biggest fan of MLB commissioner Rob Manfred this year.

Castellanos was suspended for two games earlier this season for his part in "instigating" a bench-clearing brawl between the Reds and St. Louis Cardinals when in reality he did very little that resembled anything suspension-worthy.

Well on Saturday, he tried to find a way to make his thoughts about Rob Manfred clear without having to actually risk a fine by saying anything negative about Manfred himself.

Castellanos said very little in his post-game interview, instead passing the headset over to a fan, who had apparently told him to "imagine that Rob Manfred's face was on the baseball" right before Castellanos blasted the ball for a home run.

Castellanos' shrug says it all, but in reality there's a pretty good chance he ends up fined for this one anyway. Whether it's for taking a shot at the commissioner or for getting up close and personal with a fan (which surely violates some COVID protocols), something tells me the league will find a way to lay down some discipline.

Of course, the MLB could also decide to use this as an opportunity for a "make-up call" on Castellanos' suspension, and let it slide.
