That's not what I would consider "consistent".

Besides he has never been even a shadow of that 2021 season again.

Suarez doing his best Mini-Me impersonation of Adam Dunn (minus the good OBP) does amuse me.

I don't expect Castellanos to be at .309 BA and .939 OPS like in his All Star 2021 year.
But in 3 of his 4 years in PHI, he's had >.260 BA and 3 years >.740 OPS.
I'd take that over Fraley for RF.

I'm not saying Castellanos is All Star level, but the Reds are not going to get an All Star to fill out their roster at the trade deadline.
Just not gonna happen.
They'll get someone mid-tier and call it "we tried."
I'll take any upgrade over anyone they currently put at RF and/or the constant rotation at DH right now.
