2024 Fantasy Outlook
Philadelphia inked Castellanos to a five-year deal for $100 million after the 2021 season, but the organization is reportedly already having a bit of buyer's remorse as there are rumors it would like to move on from his streaky bat and terrible defense. The fact Castellanos has three more years and $60 million left on his deal makes trading him rather tough. The Phillies are frustrated because Castellanos is streaky; he hit .313 in April and .351 in June, but .162 in July, .235 in the second half of the season and has been abysmal in the postseason for them. Fantasy managers are not as concerned because the volume of production was still there even if Castellanos's run production slipped in conjunction with his outlier on-base percentage from 2021. Kyle Schwarber's continued presence on the roster clogs up the DH spot most of the time, so the much-needed move to DH for Castellanos is not happening as long as he remains with the club. For now, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Read Past Outlooks
Slugs homer No. 20
Castellanos went 1-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Rays.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old outfielder put the Phillies in the lead early by taking Shane Baz deep in the first inning before coming home with the winning run in the sixth. Castellanos has had a somewhat disappointing season overall, but he's now reached 20 homers for the sixth time in his career, and 80 RBI for the fifth time.

We have seen the best of times and the worst of times with Castellanos the past two seasons. He was as amazing to have on a fantasy team in 2021 as he was utterly frustrating to roster in 2022. The move to Philly was supposed to be one which would soften the blow of leaving the comforts of Cincy, yet Castellanos was dreadful in nearly every aspect of the game. He lost nearly 50 points of batting average, nearly 200 points of slugging, and lost the ability to get on base as his low walk rate found a new low with his new club. The 7 steals were a career best, but that is the only silver lining in an otherwise forgettable season. Let's not forget, his terrible defense had to stay in the field because Bryce Harper needed to DH to stay in the lineup with his elbow troubles. Squinting into his expected numbers and secondary numbers offer little insights into a turnaround this coming season as his profile went from bright red to dark blue in many areas on StatCast in a hurry. He is too young to accelerate in the aging curve like this, but there truly is not any one excuse to explain this rapid decline. The signing itself was a poor fit for the club, but they made the World Series so all is well that ends well?

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not on trade block
Per ESPN's Buster Olney, a Phillies source indicates that the team has no intention of trading Castellanos this winter.
ANALYSIS
Rumors surfaced at the GM Meetings in Arizona this week that the Phillies might be open to moving Castellanos with three seasons remaining on the five-year, $100 million contract he signed in March 2022. However, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski subsequently announced that Bryce Harper would be sticking at first base long term, leaving an opening in a corner outfield spot. Castellanos should return as Philly's streaky but dangerous right fielder in 2024.
