His OBP was only.289, and the Padres struggled in this category overall.
As a result, on December 6th, he was exchanged for OF Tommy Pham and two-way prospect Jake Cronenworth by the Tampa Bay Rays, along with minor league infielder Xavier Edwards.
Pham was an experienced player who excelled at reaching base.
Renfroe played 42 games and hit just .156 in his one season with the Rays in 2020, which was cut short to 60 games due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Despite this, Renfroe was the team’s starting right fielder in a lineup that underwent significant lineup changes.
Given the chance to start Game 2 of the Wild Card Series against the Toronto Blue Jays on September 30, he could have become an afterthought in the postseason, but his grand slam against Hyun-Jin Ryu in the second inning was the game-changing hit in the 8-2 victory.
He saw little action in the following round, earning just one at-bat in the Rays’ Division Series victory over the New York Yankees, but he saw more action in the ALCS and World Series.
In the latter, he hit another significant home run in the tumultuous Game 4 against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias, contributing to an 8-7 victory.
His athleticism was also demonstrated by numerous excellent defensive outfield plays he made throughout the series.
