Despite being set for a potential summer sell-off, the Angels are reportedly not looking to trade their controllable players. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/luis-rengifo/57597">Luis Rengifo</a>, who is eligible for arbitration through the next season, is typically considered part of this group. However, the dynamics may shift rapidly as the upcoming trade deadline is anticipated to strongly favor sellers.
Here are four possible destinations for Luis Rengifo this summer, should the Angels choose to trade him.

Luis Rengifo Rumors

https://d2lwua7odq46dz.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/USATSI_23447363-scaled-e1721068526226-768x432.jpg

June was a tough month for the Yankees.
After holding the best record in MLB on June 14, they experienced a challenging 8-17 run, failing to win any of their last seven series until this weekend’s games against the Baltimore Orioles.
During this period, their lineup struggled significantly with hitting, a situation that must improve if they aim for a championship in 2024.
Luis Rengifo, with a 127 wRC+, could significantly enhance a lineup that has seen poor performances from multiple infielders. 
Rengifo’s left-handed swing is particularly well-suited for the short right field at Yankee Stadium. The veteran, who hit 33 home runs between 2022 and 2023, could offer a substantial offensive boost.
While acquiring Rengifo might come at a high cost, the potential offensive improvement and added versatility he brings could be highly beneficial for New York.

Would the Angels consider a trade with their cross-town rivals, the Dodgers? Given that a World Series clash is unlikely, Anaheim doesn’t have much to lose in such a deal.
The Dodgers currently have a notable weakness at second base and are likely in the market for an upgrade. Their collective fWAR of 1.4 at the position falls short for a team aiming for a championship.
There's potential for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/markus-betts/58665">Mookie Betts </a>to shift back to second base upon his return from the IL, but he’s not expected back until August, and the Dodgers’ plans for him remain uncertain.
Rengifo could effectively address the Dodgers' ongoing issues at second base in 2024 and provide a reliable option for 2025. His versatility is also a plus, aligning with the Dodgers’ preference for players who can handle multiple positions.

Heading into the season as one of the more underrated contenders, the Royals have now declared themselves buyers in 2024, starting with their acquisition of reliever <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/hunter-harvey/58437">Hunter Harvey </a>from the Washington Nationals. With more transactions likely on the horizon for Kansas City this month, a trade for Luis Rengifo could be an exciting possibility.
Rengifo would be a significant improvement for the Royals at second base, where the current options have only amassed a total of 1.1 fWAR this season, placing them 17th in MLB. Besides All-Star shortstop <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/robert-witt/57889">Bobby Witt Jr.</a>, the rest of the Royals’ infield has been underwhelming.
Given that the team has managed to stay competitive, largely thanks to Witt’s outstanding performances, there might be concerns about potential declines from other players. Rengifo’s versatility could help stabilize the team against such a downturn.
With their early move to acquire Harvey, Kansas City has shown they’re ready to make bold moves, suggesting they might be prepared to meet the Angels’ likely high asking price for the 27-year-old Rengifo.

In a surprising twist, Milwaukee leads the NL Central in 2024 and is eyeing pitching reinforcements for the summer. But what about their batting lineup?
While the Brewers are scoring an average of 4.8 runs per game, ranking ninth in MLB, their strategy as a small-market team hinges on acquiring players with team control, a criterion Luis Rengifo meets perfectly.
Rengifo would also provide a boost to their offense and his versatility is crucial, especially with the potential free agency departure of shortstop <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/willy-adames/58088">Willy Adames</a> looming this winter.
Acquiring Rengifo could lead to several strategic placements across their infield. Such adjustments would not only enhance Milwaukee’s offensive capabilities in 2024 but also prepare them for Adames’ potential exit.
This strategy appears to offer benefits all around.
