Hunter Renfroe survived the Trade Deadline this season, as his teammate, Franmil Reyes was the one to depart out of town in a three-team trade with the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians.

But he might not survive the offseason in San Diego because teams would love to have his bat, especially if he could be a DH, as long as they are getting the first-half Hunter Renfroe.

In the first half, there was a possibility of him being on the All-Star roster or participating in the Home Run Derby. He hit 27 home runs while driving in 49 and being the team’s most complete outfielder.

In the second half, he battled an injury that could have been a factor to his not so impressive second half. He was only able to hit 6 home runs and drive in 15 while owning a .161 batting average.

Despite all of that, I think he should still be an attractive asset that the San Diego Padres have because of his offensive potential which teams like the Cardinals needed more of in the postseason.

The only thing that could halt the trade market for Renfroe is his second half as I mentioned. If this occurs then I still wouldn’t be surprised if he was on the roster on Opening Day in 2020.
