When does Rengifo get DFA'd?

[bensheeps]

I think the Baddoo reinstatement news from Sunday makes a Rengifo DFA more likely.

Now if the decision is to add Williams, Leonard, or Lara, you need a 40-man spot available beyond just a 26-man spot.  It will now take more than sending Perkins, Ortiz, or Hamilton down to Nashville.

They can still transfer Zerpa and Priester to the 60 day IL if they need to clear a 40 man spot

You'd think it would be soon. Of your going to bring up Jett or Pratt, youd want them to at least get a months worth of ABs before the trade deadline. If they can't handle it, you need to rent someone.

Murphy said he wants Jett Williams settled at 1 position when he breaks into the big leagues. He’s primarily played 3b so far. 
 

if you look ahead to 2027, there’s not really an obvious spot for him as an every day player. Made very well may be our third baseman. Pratt our SS. Lara in CF. Turang at 2b. Chourio and Frelick in the corners. So if all of these guys are retained, we might be looking at a super sub role for Williams as early as 2027. 
 

that leads me to think Williams will get some significant run at 3b this season. If he gets the call in early June, that’s 2 months of mlb playing time before the trade deadline. 
 

unless Rengifo goes on a heater (had a nice game yesterday), I think the transition to Williams as the primary starter at 3b is imminent.

I loved what Frelick brought to the table last year, but I’m worried that was a flash in the pan.  He is looking more and more unplayable.

that said, if we can avoid black holes at 3B, SS, and the other OF spot, it’s easier to buy some time for Frelick to improve

I'm torn on Frelick, he does have enough of a track record that you don't just want to cut him loose, and despite not a ton of power it seemed like he used to contribute in a variety of ways. But there have also been a couple of years worth of articles even while he was producing arguing that his profile might not really be all that sustainable...

Ya Frelick has been unplayable offensively for a corner outfielder so far. 
 

I guess I have some hope his offense will rebound the rest of the way. 
 

however if his offense doesn’t improve over the rest of the season, it’s totally fair to question how he fits into the future line up. I wouldn’t argue that outside of 2025, he’s produced like a 4th outfielder.

Sal needs to hit the weight room. 6th percentile bat speed ain’t gonna cut it long term.

What does Sal have to do with a rengifo dfa might get back on topic or start a Sal only thread
