When the Angels grabbed Rendon, it bumped La Stella and Fletcher off of 3B and therefore cut into Rengifo's ABs more than anyone. Having Rendon and Andrelton Simmons locking down the left side SEVERELY cut into the at bats that Rengifo would have otherwise had this year. He's one of those players that has solid value to a team that is only one player deep at the keystone, but far less value to the Angels. Withouth their depth chart looking the way it does, I can't imagine the Angels would have considered this trade. Alternate theory, one Angels infielder is hurt or way out of shape, so the Angels backed out of the trade.
