Denzer Guzman being bumped up to AA is...interesting. Curious if they actually think he's ready for it, or they just need another body after Fontenelle went down.
With his bat heating up and his comments about "not playing banged up anymore", I wonder if they put Renfroe behind Ohtani to break up the lefties and attempt to scare teams away from just walking Sho every time...hoping his production from the last 5 games or so is legit.
Just took a peek at Stefanic's Baseball Reference page for the first time in a while...good lord that man can kill some minor league pitching. Have to think he's earned another shot, as long as they trust his defense.
As others have mentioned, to me that would scream desperation. The FO is surely feeling the "Angels must win now" pressure from just about everywhere, but it's hard to think a low-risk trade for an upgrade over Thaiss/Wallach wouldn't be the move.
