Leading up to the 2019 MLB Trade Deadline, there were a lot of rumors involving the San Diego Padres. One of the more popular names mentioned was outfielder Hunter Renfroe, who had a career-high 29 home runs at the time of the Deadline and had proven himself to be a big part of the team’s lineup.
Whether the rumors were true or not, it’s not unfair to question the young outfielder’s future with a team like the Padres, who are methodically molding their plans for 2020 and beyond.
The Padres’ value players are multi-dimensional, and Renfroe has mostly underwhelmed in that category.
