7 years agoJon Morosi of MLB Network reports that trade interest in San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe has picked up. With the Padres agreeing to terms with first baseman Eric Hosmer, Wil Myers will now move to a corner outfield spot. With Manuel Margot patrolling center field, that leaves a battle between Renfroe and Jose Pirela for the final spot. Renfroe has always shown plus power but spent some of last season in Triple-A after struggling. Overall, the 26-year-old has 30 home runs and a career .242 batting average in 133 games dating back to 2016. Morosi mentions the Braves as a possible fit, but there have been no reports of the Padres trying to move him. If given everyday at-bats, Renfroe should be able to help fantasy owners with his power, but he will hurt in other categories.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
