According to Reports, Hunter Renfroe Has Been Traded to the Angels, In Return, the Brewers Will Receive Janson Junk and Prospects

OKBET 007 Hunter Renfroe, a veteran outfielder, has found a new team for the 2023 season.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the 30-year-old was sent from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Janson Junk, Elvis Peguero, and Adam Seminaris were sent to the Brewers in exchange.
