Dunn's two seasons with the Nats.  OPS + was 144 and 138. I will take that.

Schwarber can play LF better than Dunn.  That's a very low bar of course.  He played 49 games in LF in 2020; 9 as the DH.

"The Baseball Info Solutions metrics included in the Bill James annual had him at -1 last season [2019]. That’s not great but it ranked him eighth among 13 left field qualifiers (ahead of Ryan Braun, Christin Stewart, Andrew Benintendi (that’s a shock), Eddie Rosario (another surprise) and Eloy Jimenez."

He was number one in LF assists for the NL in 2018 and 2019. 
Let me rephrase: He's a poor man's Adam Dunn. And I dont think he plays LF better
