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
Homers, scores three times
Castellanos went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Castellanos helped the Phillies clinch a first-round bye and home-field in the NLDS with his big performance. He belted his 30th double of the season in the opening frame before launching a solo home run off Javier Assad in the third inning to give the Phillies a 4-0 advantage. Castellanos is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak, batting .500 with five extra-base hits, five RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. The 32-year-old has played in all 159 contests for the Phillies this season, slashing .253/.310/.428 with 23 home runs, 86 RBI, 79 runs scored and six stolen bases.

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
Likely staying put
The Phillies could explore trading Castellanos during the offseason, but he's more likely to stick around given the two years and $40 million remaining on his contract, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia could look to improve its outfield this winter, but Castellanos will probably remain the right fielder, since any trade would likely require the Phillies to pay down a chunk of salary. The 32-year-old totaled 23 homers, 86 RBI and 80 runs while playing in 162 regular-season games, though he had an underwhelming .254/.311/.431 slash line.
