The Angels have acquired infielder Luis Rengifo from the Rays, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (via Twitter). He becomes the player named later in the deal that sent first baseman C.J. Cron to Tampa Bay about a month ago.
Rengifo, 21, joined the Mariners organization in 2014 as an international signee from Venezuela. He went to the Rays in a multi-player swap last August. Rengifo spent last year at the Class A level, where he posted a .250/.316/.397 batting line with a dozen home runs and 34 steals over 554 plate appearances.

Decent return.

I like it multi positional player with some pop for a inconsistent one dimensional player

I think the thing to see here is that he isn’t on the 40 man roster yet.
Long Duc Dong
I understand but I’m looking at potential. I know what Cron can do and I’m over it

Agreed

Hard to believe that The Hulk was just a PTBNL…

Doesn’t sound THAT much like Lou Ferrigno
Long Duc Dong
Nah they did not include your mom in the trade

Wow that’s the trash return even get a starting pitcher
eastbay_baller
Nah he a nice potential player with a little upside. He seems good with what I’ve heard

What in the world did you expect for CJ Cron
Long Duc Dong
Exactly, took them forever to get someone to take him. Hell, a player with upside is better than an over the hill reliever they are used to taking off of someone else’s hand’s
