• How patient should the Royals be with MJ Melendez?

Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Now in his third season, the young slugger has yet to turn the corner. The Royals have an outfield problem. Collectively, their outfielders are hitting .199/.257/.316 with just 11 home runs in 501 plate appearances. Their 61 wRC+ is the worst among all MLB outfields by a large margin.

2024
"Hunter Renfroe doubled home two more to make it a five-run inning and a 6-0 Royals lead."

2023
"In a stunning development, the Angels have waved the white flag on their season, placing starter Lucas Giolito, relievers Matt Moore and Reynaldo López, and outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk on waivers, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN."

2022
"Boston reacquired Bradley in an offseason trade that sent Hunter Renfroe to the Brewers."

2021
"When it comes to the Red Sox and outfield assists — especially those that are instantly worthy of a highlight reel — you probably think of Hunter Renfroe."

2020
"Jake Arrieta, Aaron Judge, Chris Chambliss, Cecil Fielder, Andrew Benintendi, Brad Ziegler, and Hunter Renfroe are some of the most prominent 31st-rounders chosen over the years…."

2019
"The Rays and Padres are deep into talks on a trade that would see Tampa Bay outfielder Tommy Pham and San Diego outfielder Hunter Renfroe switch clubs, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and Jeff Passan of ESPN."

2018
"Trade interest in outfielder Hunter Renfroe has picked up, according to a tweet from Jon Morosi of MLB."

2017
"Then, in the fourth inning, Hunter Renfroe turned around a Hendricks fastball -- and the game -- in an instant."

2016
"It's not a major loss for the Padres, however, since several of their outfield prospects such as Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe are ready for full-time roles in the majors."

2015
"San Diego's Double-A affiliate San Antonio escaped Corpus Christi with a 14-inning win on Monday night, and the primary takeaway was Padres Number 1 prospect (Number 40 overall) Hunter Renfroe hitting his third home run in two games."

2014
"Add in the fact the Padres were able to keep their top four prospects—catcher Austin Hedges, outfielder Hunter Renfroe, right-hander Matt Wisler and left-hander Max Fried—and the deal is a slam dunk for them."
