Franmil Reyes

Consider me interested. Only 27, two 30 HR seasons under his belt already... he is striking out a lot right now though. His barrel % remains very good.

Career .820 OPS against LHP.

Even with his bad numbers this year, I just came on to suggest the same thing...May be worth a shot

Looks like a David Ortiz from the right side...through age 26(actually...a little better). 

Poor Keston. 2R HR tonight, he'll have a couple big games, they'll claim Reyes and then...of course it'd be Hiura's spot he'd take, right?

But really, he does look like a guy you'd take a flier on.

Good career numbers versus lefties, but he really fell apart versus lefties this year.

It would be the blockbuster move that could save our season.

Kidding aside. I wouldn’t mind taking a flier. We have done dumber things the last week.

For a team that can’t score when they don’t homer, Reyes wouldn’t  help the Brewers; he’s a clone of Hiura with a 37% strike out rate.

It seems like something Stearns would do. Has never played CF in MLB. Can Renfroe play CF?

Reyes career line through '21;

.260/.325/.503 line with a 121 OPS+ over 1540 PAs

280 PAs(complied at the age of 26). 

Reyes also has a career line of  .269/.348/.472 with a .820 OPS vs lefties.

 

WILL he help? I don't know. Seems kinda foolish to dismiss it out of hand because he's struggled this year. Especially for a guy who's...again, still in his age 26 season(just turned 27). So just now hitting his prime. Maybe you get the guy who hit 37, 30 in the past two full seasons he played.

Maybe you get nothing special and he's really NOT an upgrade.

 

Doesn't feel like the worst idea to roll the dice here, but I suspect he'll get claimed before he gets to the NL and if not, before he gets to the Brewers on the waiver wire.

God no. Reyes seems like he could play DH/1B, RF/LF.

Definitely wouldn't throw Renfore in there at CF though.

Darn.  He profiled a lot like Soler last year at this time and we all know what he did for Atlanta.

[Robocaller]

He's a good get for the Cubs. If he gets things sorted out, they get a player who can contribute for a couple of years. If he doesn't, it's only money they're giving up.
