The fact that Castillo has evolved into such a standout isn’t wholly surprising. Remember, when the Marlins parted with Castillo, he was regarded as one of their handful of best prospects.

Throughout baseball's long history, no city has been more synonymous with Opening Day than Ohio's Queen City. With the game on hold because of COVID-19, things just aren't the same.
The former National League MVP had the statistically worst season of his career in 2019. Does an aging Votto have more good seasons ahead?
