The Milwaukee Brewers are going to be an intriguing team to keep an eye on throughout the MLB offseason. While they were a contender and made the playoffs during the regular season, they were exposed quickly during the playoffs.

Unfortunately, they still are a couple of pieces away from being a legitimate World Series contender.

With that in mind, there has been a lot of speculation about moves the Brewers could make. Milwaukee could consider getting aggressive as they pursue a championship.
Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports has suggested an intriguing trade that Milwaukee could consider.

Milwaukee Brewers Urged to Pursue Big Trade with Los Angeles Angels

In her suggestion, she urged the Brewers to pursue a trade with the Los Angeles Angels for infielder Luis Rengifo.

“If the Brewers wind up moving Turang or Ortiz to short, they could look to trade for Angels infielder Luis Rengifo, who will be in the final year of arbitration in 2025. It’s a boon for Milwaukee that Rengifo plays both second and third, and he shouldn’t cost them too many prospects or flashy players since he would be a one-year stop-gap option.”

Rengifo would be a one-year player if things don’t work. However, if they did work out, the Milwaukee Brewers could look to re-sign him and keeping him around for the future.

During the 2024 MLB season with the Angels, Rengifo ended up playing in 78 games. He hit six home runs to go along with 30 RBI, while slashing .300/.347/.417.

Those numbers would be a solid addition to the Brewers’ lineup. He’s also just 27 years old, which gives this move the potential to be something much bigger than just a one-year rental.

All of that being said, it will be very interesting to see what Milwaukee chooses to do this offseason. If they truly want to win a championship, they’ll need to make a couple of high impact moves.

Acquiring Rengifo may not be a “sexy” move, but it’s a trade that would certainly improve the overall talent of the roster and would give a bit more help to the Milwaukee Brewers’ lineup.
