Cole Tucker? Lol.

1 gone, 1 more to go!

OMG there goes our best late innings releiver. Who is going to mop up the 9th now lol. However I wish Hicks the best it just didnt work out here he had a solid spring and NY is paying his tab for the most part he should hook on somewhere.

[jsnpritchett]

Tucker can play all over the place, though he's historically been more of a SS than anything else.  He has been an absolute disaster in almost 500 plate appearances in the majors across 5 seasons: .216/.266/.318.

I guess he's a warm body and they think he can give them some coverage if Drury and Sano are still banged up--but, man, it's sad that he's the best option at this point.

Hicks could clear and be assigned to SLC as OF depth, in case they need him in the future.

See this is exactly why we needed to address the infield depth.

He was hitting over 300 with high obp at SLC. Angels should just have kept David Fletcher.

Very True.

Drury is a Free Agent at the end of the season.  Rengifo at the end of 2025.

Correct Rengifo UAF info.

I sort of feels like this teams is lacking depth everywhere.

Drury and Rengifo are both Free Agents at the end of the season.

Both will be traded

I can see Rengifo being traded but Drury has been dreadful this season. Hopefully he kicks it into gear and they can get something for him.

I could see that happening as well.  But the question remains, who will take their place.

Lol.  Please don't be dumb.  That was in 42 plate appearances.  We've seen what he can do at the major league level. 

I'll also add this from BTH:

I think we could get a good haul for Rengifo.
