Rays Acquire Hunter Renfroe And Xavier Edwards
5 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays acquired outfielder Hunter Renfroe and prospect infielder Xavier Edwards on Thursday for outfielder Tommy Pham. Renfroe, a 27-year-old slugger, will head to the Rays after bashing 25-plus homers in three consecutive seasons. Despite his reputation as a defensive liability, Renfroe materially improved his game in 2019 with a +5.1 defensive WAR. A proven power hitter, the streaky Renfroe should remain a valuable home run commodity in all fantasy formats. For dynasty participants, Edwards slots as the sixth-ranked prospect in the Rays organization and possesses promising speed and batted-ball potential. After completing High-A ball in 2019, the 20-year-old Edwards is likely a couple years from his major league debut.
