Nick Castellanos was asked during an interview with MLB FITS what he\'d do if he were Major League Baseball\'s commissioner for a day.
The Philadelphia Phillies right fielder says he\'d like to see owners penalized when their team performs poorly.
\"I would change that ownership doesn\'t have any severe consequences for losing for an extended period of time,\" Castellanos said.
\"You know, so like, just like if we\'re in the big leagues and we don\'t perform well, we get demoted or cut. If their organization didn\'t perform well, somebody else would have an opportunity to buy it from then. You know, just to, just you know like keep to where nobody can really own the game of baseball \'cause the game of baseball is above true ownership.\"
Castellanos\' comments come less than two weeks after Phillies chairman John Middleton said owners have an obligation to the city and the fan base to try to win.
