2024 Fantasy Outlook
Renfroe was traded from the Brewers to the Angels last offseason, marking his fifth different team over the last five Opening Days. He was on the move again in late August, going to the Reds via waivers. In between the two stops, the 32-year-old had his least productive season outside of the shortened 2020 campaign, finishing with a .713 OPS, 91 OPS+ and 20 home runs. The quality of contact metrics support the dip in production, as Renfroe's 6.1 percent barrel rate was easily a career low and his 88.3 mph average exit velocity and 39.1 percent hard-hit rate were his lowest since his rookie season. His defensive metrics also fell off for the second year in a row. Renfroe should get another shot at regular at-bats in 2024 after landing with Kansas City, and while his skill set is limited, he seems like a decent bet to rebound as a solid power source.

Making spring debut
Renfroe (back) is batting fifth as the designated hitter in Friday's spring game against the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
The veteran slugger has been held out of spring games thus far due to lower-back tightness, but he'll join the lineup for Friday's contest. Renfroe struggled to a .713 OPS last season after topping .800 the previous two seasons, and he'll be a key lineup piece for the Royals after signing a two-year, $13 million deal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to play right field
Renfroe will play mainly in right field with the Angels, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Renfroe was traded from the Brewers to the Angels on Tuesday, and he'll now prepare to play for his fifth team in as many seasons. Taylor Ward served as the Angels' primary right fielder last year, but Renfroe will take over at the position after he started 118 games in right field for Milwaukee in 2022. Ward will serve as the Angels' primary left fielder to begin the 2023 campaign.

Renfroe was dealt to Milwaukee just before the start of the season in a deal that netted the Red Sox a couple low-level prospects and the obligation of taking on Jackie Bradley Jr.'s contract. Renfroe was coming off a career year in Boston enjoying both the spoils of Fenway Park as well as the talented surrounding casts, and essentially picked up in Milwaukee where he left off in Boston. Renfroe's statistical lines in many categories were just single-digits off 2021 numbers, which speaks to his raw power given how many other hitters struggled to adjust to the changing baseball and its storage. His runs and RBI production noticeably declined with the downgrade of the supporting cast, and he now finds himself on a fifth team in five years after the Brewers sent him to the Angels for low-end pitching depth. Renfroe certainly has his flaws, but he should play every day and push for close to 30 homers without hurting your batting average for the third consecutive season.
